Chelsea look set to be facing competition in their transfer pursuit of AC Milan star Rafael Leao with Manchester City eyeing a move that involves a current first-team player. The Blues have held a long-term interest in the Portuguese international but could now see their transfer hijacked by City, who are willing to include Jack Grealish in the deal.
Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez have both been recent arrivals in attacking positions for Pep Guardiola's side but it seems he is still not quite satisfied with his options in the front line. Grealish only arrived in the summer of 2021 for a hefty £100milllion from Aston Villa, and although he has shown improvement this season, he has struggled to adapt to Guardiola's demands.
AC Milan are understandably not interested in selling one of their star assets with a new contract in the offing for Leao that would likely see him become the highest-paid player at the club.
