Former AC Milan midfielder Kaka has admitted now may be 'the right moment' for Rafael Leao to leave the club amid reported interest from a number of Premier League clubs.
City were linked with a move for the Portuguese forward shortly before the January window opened, with Pep Guardiola a long-time admirer and in need of some penetration from wide areas following the departure of Raheem Sterling. The winger's current contract at the San Siro runs out in 2024, making summer an optimal time for the Serie A club to sell, should a new deal not be agreed.
Leao's lawyer, Ted Dimvula, had recently claimed that the 25-year-old would be open to signing a new deal. But with his future still far from clear, speculation continues as to whether City could make a move come summer.
