Manchester City have reportedly been handed a boost in their rumoured pursuit of AC Milan star Rafael Leao, with the Portuguese star still no closer to signing a new contract at the San Siro.
According to Calciomercato, the Italian giants have offered the 23-year-old around €6million per season, but the attacker is holding out for a fixed wage of €7.5million. It adds that the two parties will use the international break to continue contract negotiations.
It is thought that Leao is open to staying at Milan, but with the player out of contract in 2024, this summer would represent Milan's last chance to get a sizeable transfer fee for his services. Pep Guardiola's side have been linked with a move for the forward on several occasions in recent months, which is not surprising given his form this season.
