Milan Sets Sale Price for Rafael Leão
The Italian club AC Milan has set the sale price for its Portuguese star Rafael Leão at 100 million euros, placing the ball in Bayern Munich's court, which has shown interest in acquiring the player recently.
This comes as the player celebrates his 26th birthday, following a fluctuating season in which he contributed to his team's victory in the Italian Super Cup and his national team's success in the UEFA Nations League, while also making a positive impact in some matches despite his inconsistent performance.
Milan believes that Leão is not for sale at a low price, but is classified as one of the team's top stars, despite a decline in his numbers, as he did not score any goals at San Siro in the league last season, managing only 8 goals away from home, alongside 6 goals in the Champions League and 1 goal in the Coppa Italia.
The Rossoneri management confirmed that they will not offer any discounts if they decide to part ways with the player, indicating that the buyout clause in his contract amounts to 175 million euros, and any potential deal must include players with low salaries or young talents that can be developed, without touching the required financial amount.
Given the difficulty in meeting Milan's financial demands, the possibility of Leão staying seems likely, especially with the new coach Massimiliano Allegri relying on him as a key element in his upcoming project, while his teammate Theo Hernandez has entered the transfer list.
Despite external offers, particularly from Saudi Arabia, Leão has shown no desire to leave Milan, reinforcing the hypothesis of his continuity to lead the team in his seventh season wearing the Rossoneri jersey.
