Tottenham rival Aston Villa, actively negotiate with Milan for Leao | OneFootball

Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Galatasaray are reportedly in active negotiations with Milan for Rafael Leao.

Aston Villa don’t seem to be the only club interested in Milan outcast Leao. Interest from Unai Emery’s side was reported by Sky Sport and other Italian sources on Monday night, but more clubs have been added to the mix.

Galatasaray have always been interested in Leao and have already made a formal offer to the player, but, according to Milan expert Kush, Tottenham are now also “actively negotiating” with Milan over the Portuguese winger.

This is the same source that broke several Milan news stories this summer, including Diego Moreira’s transfer from Strasbourg.

According to the report, Milan’s asking price has not changed, as the Rossoneri are still seeking offers in the €50-60m range for the Portuguese.

Leao missed the opening game of the 2026-27 Serie A campaign due to an injury, but is not part of Amorim’s plans, and the player himself admitted earlier this summer that he’d be looking for a new challenge for 2026-27.

Leao has prioritised a move to the Premier League, so Aston Villa and Tottenham surely are favourites over Galatasaray, provided they match Milan’s demands.
