It is an operation that will take the summer spending north of €150m, meaning there is now added pressure to generate some funds from sales. Read SempreMilan ad-free and get access to exclusive news.

One of the prime candidates is Leao, not just because of the comments he made before the World Cup about wanting to leave the club but also because he does not seem to be an ideal tactical fit in Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1. Mendes rings Roma over Leao Now, Sacha Tavolieri has published an interesting update: “Rafael Leão offered to AS Roma! Jorge Mendes has proposed Rafael Leão to Roma on behalf of AC Milan today. “Mendes wants to try to bring the Portuguese star to the Giallorossi and has already put his name forward to the Friedkin family. “Meanwhile, Roma have reached a personal agreement with Malick Fofana and are working on a deal with Lyon after Rodrigo Mora.” Roma are able to offer Champions League football and he could find a place in Gian Piero Gasperini’s plans. However, it remains to be seen if they have the financial resources, and if Leao would even consider a domestic switch.
