Tottenham offered chance to sign Rafa Leao, Milan open to loan | OneFootball

Serie A side Milan have now decided to part ways with Rafael Leao and could be open to flexible options, with the player offered to Tottenham Hotspur.

La Gazzetta dello Sport report that the Rossoneri have begun discussions with the forward’s entourage. The result is that the Portuguese attacker is not part of Ruben Amorim’s plans. 

Despite that, no concrete offers have come up for Leao. Barcelona have shown very limited amount of interest and Manchester United haven’t gone beyond initial enquiries. At the same time, attempts are being made to assess Tottenham’s interest and they have been offered the chance to sign the player.

Moves to Saudi Arabia and Turkey aren’t appealing to the player. His entourage will therefore need to work diplomatically to seek out other offers that must not be less than €60-70 million. If nothing works out, Milan could also consider a loan with an obligation to buy.

Spurs could be a viable destination

There have been question marks about Leao’s workrate but a new challenge can reignite his career. Roberto De Zerbi’s side are rebuilding after last season’s struggles and he could become the main man at a club which is showing incredible ambition already, as they try to return to where they belong.

De Zerbi’s system relies on attackers who exploit spaces when the opposition is pressing. This can bring a lot out of Leao, who will have a lot of room to attack and increase his output.
