Chelsea target Rafael Leao indicates future plan as Todd Boehly faces familiar transfer problem

Rafael Leao has said that he will speak to the AC Milan hierarchy concerning his future when he returns to the San Siro from the World Cup. The Portugal star has just over 18 months remaining on his contract and had a 'positive' meeting with Paolo Maldini before departing for Qatar.

The winger has appeared on Chelsea's transfer list, drawing continued interest from the Blues since the summer when Jorge Mendes offered the winger to the club. Any move for the 23-year-old was expected to start around the £90million mark, with further complications caused with the money still owed to Sporting for terminating his contract and joining Lille in the summer of 2018.

Further interest would not be unexpected from Graham Potter's side should Leao not extend his deal in Italy. However, while there was talk of complications earlier in the year there still appears to be a chance that he commits his future to Milan.
