Rafael Leao has been given the chance to impress Thomas Tuchel and Todd Boehly, with a move to Chelsea on the cards. The 23-year-old has quickly become heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer as the Blues look to sign a forward before the summer transfer window slams shut at the end of the month.
Last month, The Telegraph reported that the AC Milan winger surfaced as an option for the west Londoners. Talk of a move to Chelsea cooled, but the Times have now said that the club have reignited interest and are currently working on a deal to sign Leao.
The report adds that negotiations began over the weekend, and the possibility of 'one or more' Blues players being included in a player-plus-cash swap deal were discussed. However, Italian outlet Calciomercato say that the Portugal international is in no rush to leave the San Siro, which - obviously - comes as a major blow.
