\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChelsea are reportedly willing to fork out \u20ac120 million to sign Rafael Leao as the left wing position is still under work at the club.<\/p>\n
According to Fichajes, Rafael Leao is a big target for Chelsea ahead of the next window. The Blues are reportedly willing to fork out \u20ac120 million to test AC Milan\u2019s resolve on their star winger, as the Stamford Bridge outfit are still figuring out the right player in the same position.<\/p>\n
Rafael Leao surprised a few when he did not move out of AC Milan when he was widely expected to during the summer window. Following the Rossoneri\u2019s failure to make it into any of the European competitions following a dismal league season, did opened the doors for some of their notable stars to jump ship, and some of them did.<\/p>\n
For instance, Tijjani Reijnders and Theo Hernandez moved out for new challenges, as Leao stayed put. One of the possible reasons would have been the financial aspect of doing any deal with Milan, given the Portuguese star has a large release clause attached to his contract, which lasts until 2028.<\/p>\n
However, ahead of the January window, there\u2019s a distinct possibility that Milan might consider a large enough bid for their winger owing to the financial pressures of not qualifying for the Champions League. Moreover, a big amount in their coffers could allow Massimiliano Allegri to sign the players that suit his system.<\/p>\n
Manchester United have been keen<\/a>, while there\u2019s also interest from the likes of Tottenham, although Leao may not view the latter as a favourable destination if it came to choosing. Now, Chelsea are the ones seemingly looking to steal the march on the 26-year-old Serie A attacker, as they are reportedly preparing a massive bid for the Portuguese attacker.<\/p>\n Chelsea to make \u20ac120 million bid<\/p>\n Chelsea are reportedly ready to fork out \u20ac120 million on the player, and their interest is nothing new, as the Blues were heavily linked with Leao back in the summer<\/a>.
