Milan Wants 60 Million Euros for Leao

Milan's Expectations Are High: 60 Million Euros

Rafael Leao's future is still uncertain. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Milan is asking for at least a 60 million euro transfer fee for the Portuguese star and is not considering a loan with a buy option. Leao is one of the highest-paid players at the club, earning 6.5 million euros plus bonuses, but it has been noted that his performance has not met expectations in the last two seasons. Due to this high demand, it is reported that clubs interested in the player are reluctant to make an offer close to this amount — and no contenders from top leagues have emerged among the interested clubs.

As uncertainty continues, it is reported that Leao will go to the training camp with new head coach Ruben Amorim, where an assessment of his future will take place. Despite having expressed his desire to leave multiple times, it is mentioned that the possibility of him staying at Milan has come back into discussion in recent weeks.

Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray: Interest at Different Levels

The report emphasizes that both Turkish giants are interested in the player, but the intensity of this interest varies. It is stated that Galatasaray could make an offer soon, which would be around 9 million euros net annual salary. Whether the player will be receptive to this offer remains uncertain for now.

Turkey's Late Closing Window Could Be an Advantage

Another noteworthy point in the report is that the possibility of a move in the final days of the transfer season has not been ruled out. The transfer window in Turkey closes later than in the major leagues in Europe, leaving room for a potential last-minute offer for the player during this period. This could provide both Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray with an opportunity to make a move at the last minute that rival clubs in Europe might hesitate to pursue.
