AC Milan, Galatasaray and Rafael Leao
Thursday
AC Milan have rejected Galatasaray’s first official €35m bid for Portugal winger Rafael Leao during summer transfer talks. The Turkish champions proposed a permanent transfer, but Milan value the 27-year-old at approximately €50m and refused the opening offer.
Galatasaray are expected to return with an improved proposal near €40m after receiving encouragement from Leao. The forward previously rejected Fenerbahce because of concerns about their project, leaving Galatasaray as the only active bidder described in the report.
