Overview
- AC Milan are ready to sell Rafael Leão after the player said he wants a new challenge and the club sees his departure as a way to rebalance the squad and finances.
- The only concrete interest so far has come from Turkish clubs, with Fenerbahçe scheduling meetings with Leão’s representatives and preparing wage offers reported between €10 million and €12 million per season.
- Milan are insisting on roughly a €60 million fee for a permanent transfer or a structured loan with an obligation to buy because the player’s book value is about €16.8 million and a sale would generate a significant capital gain.
- Leão prefers a move to a top European league, especially England or Spain, and remains reportedly unconvinced by a switch to the Turkish Super Lig while Premier League links have produced no firm offers.
- Fenerbahçe’s planned talks with the player’s entourage will be decisive in the coming days and will determine whether Milan accept a structured deal, take a lower valuation, or retain Leão for Rubén Amorim’s squad and preseason plans.
