Chelsea could be set to be handed a timeframe in their pursuit of AC Milan star Rafael Leao. The Portugal international has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge ahead of the January transfer window after the Blues ignited their interest in the attacker.
Leao caught the attention of Europe's top clubs with 14 goals and 12 assists last term for the Rossoneri and he has continued his fine form this season with 16 goal contributions in 20 goals. It's understood that the Blues were linked with a move in the summer but the deal was ruled too late in the window for either party.
Now, with Leao's current deal at the San Siro expiring in June 2024, talk over a possible January deal to Chelsea have continued after the forward's performance in the World Cup. The 23-year-old has scored two goals for Fernando Santos' side in four appearances, with both strikes coming off the bench.
