Rafael Leao transfer twist as Leeds United handed update on winger after crunch meeting Leeds United have been linked with a potential move for the winger throughout the transfer window. Leeds United have received a potential boost in their hopes of an eye-catching move for Rafael Leao this summer, with his club open to selling. The Whites have been consistently linked to the AC Milan man throughout the summer transfer window. Reports suggest that the winger has been offered to Leeds, as well as Manchester United and Arsenal. The player himself has admitted that he is looking for a new challenge away from the San Siro. The 27-year-old was not part of the AC Milan squad for their pre-season friendly against Man United on Saturday. His omission is reportedly due to a slight muscle strain, but speculation about his future continues. FOLLOW OUR LUFC FACEBOOK PAGE!

It was agreed that the player would be allowed to move for a fee of between €40m-€45m (£34.2m-£38.5m). It’s added that Milan are not desperate to sell, and if a satisfactory offer does not arrive, then the club and manager Ruben Amorim are happy to make him a regular part of their squad. Speaking over the summer, Leao made his transfer stance clear. "I need a new challenge," he said. "I already won two trophies in Italy and have been there for a while. "The league (Serie A) is evolving, but for my style of football, I think the Premier League or La Liga would make more of my talent as a player." Daniel Farke has so far added three new players to his squad ahead of the new season. Harry Wilson has joined on a free transfer following his exit from Fulham. He was joined by defender Tarik Muharemovic, who has joined from Sassuolo. He will play in front of new goalkeeper James Trafford, who has completed a transfer from Manchester City. The Whites are on the verge of signing Borussia Monchengladbach defender Nico Elvedi. That will allow Sebastiaan Bornauw to complete a move to join Hamburg.
