Milan’s Rafael Leao: Intermediaries trying to iron Galatasaray transfer | OneFootball

Serie A side Milan are set to part ways with Rafael Leao and attempts are growing to possibly secure a move to Galatasaray for the Portuguese.

Daniele Longo has reported that a move to Gala is slowly starting to tempt Leao, who has asked for time to think about a move. He is still not completely sure but there are signs he could now agree to join at some point in the future.

This is especially because moves to Aston Villa or Tottenham haven’t quite taken off. The two clubs were offered Leao and memorised the terms but are currently considering other targets.

An intermediary who has been active in Galatasaray’s transfer market for years is working tirelessly to secure Leao’s final approval for a €8 million offer, plus €2 million in bonuses. Once the player gives his approval, he will negotiate directly with Gerry Cardinale. The Portuguese has been on vacation in Istanbul in recent days and has begun to familiarise himself with what could be his next professional adventure.

Milan are lying in wait to understand if their €60 million valuation can be met.

Things looking bright for Gala

It feels like the intermediary – likely George Gardi, could iron out another big move from Italy to Turkey. He has done it for many players – including Victor Osimhen and Leao could be running out of time. His vacation in the country is a sign that his opinion could indeed be changing.
