Chelsea transfer target Rafael Leao will not have a release clause that the Blues can activate this window, according to reports. It comes after suggestions that AC Milan have cited his €150million (£127million) clause as his valuation in talks for the winger.
The 23-year-old was a key member of the Rossoneri squad last season, scoring 11 and assisting in a further 10 goals as he helped guide them to the Serie A title. With those impressive performances and just two years remaining on his contract, plenty of transfer interest is expected.
The Blues are one of those linked, with Thomas Tuchel looking to solve the goal scoring woes that the team suffered last campaign. Raheem Sterling has been signed to help with that, while football.london understands Chelsea are confident in finalising a deal to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona.
