The player, for his part, has not yet given his full openness to the idea of making a move to Turkey. A salary of more than €12-13m net per year will be needed to convince him and dissolve all of the doubts. In any case, Galatasaray will continue to insist, and Milan expect an improved offer. Meanwhile, MilanNews confirm that Galatasaray’s first offer for Leao has arrived and it was €35m including bonuses. Currently, there’s no scope for the deal to go through, because of the €15m+ gap between supply and demand. The source have also learned that the winger has stated his desire to remain at Milan for the time being, but the club are still working on his exit. The timing suggests the situation could be clearer after mid-August.
