Chelsea are interested in signing AC Milan attacker Rafael Leo at the end of the season.
The 25-year-old attacker has been very good at Italian clubs this season, with him having 10 goals and nine assists in his name in all competitions. According to a report by Calciomercato, Chelsea has assessed the player’s potential moves with the help of super agent Jorge Mendes.
However, Bruce is aware of the fact that Milan will not hold talks to sell players on offers less than 100 million euros. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea are willing to pay players such money. They recently held discussions on potential moves.
Portugal International has established itself as one of Italy’s best players and has the quality to do well in the Premier League. He is entering the peak period of his career and he will want to compete at the highest level. The opportunity to play for Chelsea is extremely exciting for him. They were one of the largest clubs in the world and were able to provide him with a platform to fight for large trophies on a regular basis.
Portugal International is said to be a “unstopped” player by his teammate Tammy Abraham.
Rafael Leo could improve Chelsea
Chelsea will do well to ensure a player of his quality, and he was able to prove that he is a major upgrade to Mykhailo Mudryk. Ukrainians were able to enter into a long ban due to doping as they were unable to meet expectations since the big money moved to Chelsea.
Chelsea need more of the attacking unit depth, and the 25-year-old Milan attacker appears to be an ideal fit. It will be interesting to see if they can convince Italian clubs to sell players.
