Manchester City have opened the door for the ideal Nicolas Pepe replacement in Rafael Leao. It seemed the Portuguese star had opted to sign a new contract with his current club AC Milan, but the reported interest from City highlights that he could be available.
According to Italian news outlet Calciomercato, Jorge Mendez has told Milan to expect an offer from an English club for his client Leao this summer. With the Premier League side reportedly being Manchester City.
This comes after Arsenal reportedly registered interest earlier in the season as Italian outlet La Repubblica claimed that Arsenal had turned their attention to the AC Milan forward for the summer transfer window. It is a deal that Edu could look to revisit, as Arsenal could be short in the wing positions going into next season.
