They, like Leao, have their ideal choice, but if that doesn’t arise, they’ll be forced to consider other options. Gala looking for alternatives As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, via MilanVibes, the Turkish club are not only looking at Leao. Considering his reluctance, it makes no sense to focus completely on one target. So, they are also looking at Gabriel Martinelli. The Brazilian is seen as the ‘Plan B’ and whilst staying in North London cannot be ruled out, Arsenal could push him out to make a move for another. This may even open the door for Leao to move to Arsenal, so things could work out in that sense. A situation which would surely help all parties. Right now, though, if Leao were to leave, it would only be seen as a good thing for the Rossoneri’s mercato.
