Chelsea have been given a major update in their transfer pursuit of AC Milan star Rafael Leao who has been urged to sign a new contract at the Italian club. The Blues have been long-term admirers of the 23-year-old and looked poised to make a move for the attacker with his current contract up in the summer of 2024.
Several promising World Cup cameos seemingly justified Chelsea's interest in Leao and also appeared to catch the attention of reigning Premier League champions Manchester City who have reportedly put forward quite the swap deal.
Pep Guardiola wants to sign Leao and is willing to include Jack Grealish in a swap deal, despite the fact he is only in his second season at the club, as per CMW. A transfer departure is not the only possible outcome from this transfer saga though, as Leao could commit his long-term future to Milan.
