Man City handed huge Rafael Leao boost as contract details 'emerge' plus other transfer rumours

Manchester City appear to have been given some positive news regarding potential transfer target Rafael Leao.

City are widely reported to be interested in signing AC Milan and Portugal attacker Leao, although they are expected to have serious competition for his signature. The 23-year-old has scored six goals and provided five assists in 14 Serie A games this season, the kind of form that has got top European clubs sniffing around.

Now, according to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Leao does not want to stay in Milan beyond the end of his current contract in 2024. Plettenberg tweeted: "At this stage he doesn’t want to extend beyond 2024. Not confident with the offer. Chelsea, City, Real in. #CFC held talks about him in Qatar. Milan refused Chelsea's offer (€70m). They want €150m. The amount of the release clause."
