Chelsea will be hoping to take advantage of ‘complications’ in AC Milan ’s talks with Rafael Leao as the Blues eye a move for the Portuguese forward.
The Londoners have been linked with a swoop for the former Lille star over recent seasons, interest that stretches back to Thomas Tuchel ’s spell in charge at Stamford Bridge. Over recent days, reports have suggested that Chelsea and Manchester City are set to go to battle in the January transfer window, with AC Milan apparently preparing themselves for big-money offers in the region of around £105million.
It remains to be seen whether the Italian giants will be tempted to cash-in on the 23-year-old but they appear to be in a tricky decision regarding contract negotiations. His current deal runs out in the summer of 2024 and whilst Milan are keen to tie him down to an extended contract, that might be easier said than done.
