AC Milan star Rafael Leao 'loves being in Italy' according to his father, Antonio Leao, despite interest growing from Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Leao's current deal with Milan is set to expire in 2024 leaving just 18 months before he can leave on a free transfer. The Blues were linked with a move for the Portuguese forward in the summer, but a transfer failed to materialise, despite Chelsea being expected to reignite their interest in the upcoming transfer windows.
The 24-year-old impressed against the west London outfit in both Champions League group stage fixtures earlier this season and admitted that Chelsea defender Reece James was one of the 'toughest' he has faced in his career, whilst Thiago Silva had similar praise for Leao. The Portugal international will feature at the World Cup in Qatar, with speculation surrounding his future continuing to circulate ahead of the January transfer window.
