The domino effect could be in full motion this week, as AC Milan will look to conduct plenty of business before the start of the season. By far the most important sale of the mercato involves Rafael Leao. If the Portuguese departs, several doors could open for Milan and Ruben Amorim doesn’t see a place for him in the team. In fact, he would rather have Alphadjo Cisse, it seems. Leao replied to a comment about his future yesterday, calling the suggestions of him being a negative influence in the dressing room ‘lies’. However, the decision to publicly announce his desire to leave cannot have gone down well internally. Another attempt for Leao? Here is where things could get interesting, though. Calciomercato.com write that Galatasaray could return to the doors of Casa Milan to discuss a move for Leao, after their bid for Gabriel Martinelli was rejected by Arsenal, as is relayed from The Athletic. The Turkish giants had offered €45 million for the Brazilian, which is exactly the figure that the Rossoneri are seeking for Leao. In other words, if they were to return to the table with the same offer, things could open up. Of course, the parties were not too far away before, but now things could open up.
