Rumour Has It: Real Madrid plan €120million move for Milan’s Rafael Leao

The
22-year-old
Portuguese
winger
scored
14
goals
and
contributed
12
assists
in
42
games
in
all
club
competitions
this
season,
after
13
goals
combined
in
his
first
two
campaigns
in
Milan.

His
rapid
ascension
has
seen
him
fitted
with
an
eye-opening
price
tag,
with
ESPN
reporting
his
release
clause
is
at
€150million,
and
that
Madrid
will
offer
somewhere
in
the
range
of
€120m.

BLANCOS
CLOSE
IN
ON
MILAN’S
PORTUGUESE
STAR

Leao
provided
an
assist
in
Milan’s
Champions
League
loss
to
Liverpool,
scored
a
goal
in
their
defeat
to
Atletico
Madrid,
and
tallied
three
goals
and
six
assists
in
the
last
six
games
of
the
Serie
A
season
to
seal
the
Scudetto.

With
his
lofty
price
tag,
it
is
fair
to
assume
Leao
is
the
Spanish
giants’ top
target
in
the
upcoming
transfer
window,
although
he
is
not
the
only
big-money
signing
reportedly
in
the
works
for
Madrid.

ESPN
is
also
reporting
Madrid’s
€80m
move
for
Monaco
midfielder
Aurelien
Tchouameni
has
been
held
up
by
a
tax
issue,
and
if
it
is
to
fall
through,
Manchester
United,
Chelsea,
Arsenal
and
Liverpool
are
all
circling.
