Chelsea retain an interest in AC Milan forward Rafael Leao ahead of the January transfer window. football.london has been told the Portugal international is one of a number of players on the club's radar, but a summer move is far more likely than one in the middle of the season.
The Blues have been interested in the 23-year-old winger for some time now, but with his contract set to expire in June 2024, the upcoming summer could be the perfect time to pounce. However, he remains in dialogue with Milan over extending his contract and recently admitted the talks have been "positive".
Leao told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I am happy and proud. I have to stay focused on the World Cup then I will speak with Milan upon my return.
