CorSport: Milan reject ‘monstrous’ offer for Leao – wants to stay this summer | OneFootball

AC Milan have rejected a ‘monstrous’ offer from Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal for Rafael Leao as the Portuguese forward does not want to leave the club this summer.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport (via Milan News), the Rossoneri are not entertaining offers for the winger as there is no active desire to sell him and the player himself wants to finish his work at Euro 2024 and then prepare for a new season under Paulo Fonseca.

The offer in question from the Saudi Pro League champions was for €100m, a figure that would certainly give Milan a lot more power in the transfer market than they currently have.

Leao would have been in line to earn around €20m per season if he went to Al Hilal which means it can’t have been an easy decision to stay, but he values progression in Europe over a bigger paycheck.

Milan have made it clear that the only way in which they are going to sell Leao this summer is if a team triggers his €175m release clause, so Al Hilal will have to almost double their offer.

It is not yet clear if they plan to come in with an improved offer above €100m.
