Chelsea are interested in signing AC Milan attacker Rafael Leo at the end of the season.
The 25-year-old has been very good at Italian clubs this season, and his performance has attracted the attention of the London club. According to Fichajes, Chelsea have already made informal contact regarding the possibility of a summer move.
A recent report claims that Chelsea is in touch with his agent Jorge Mendes. It is believed that players will also be on Arsenal’s radar.
Can Chelsea convince AC Milan to sell it?
It will be interesting to see if AC Milan can be persuaded to sell the player in the coming weeks. The 25-year-old is an important player to them, and his departure will be a blow to Italian outfits.
Chelsea have finances to submit proposals that are beneficial to players, and it is still unclear how the situation will develop. Leao has 12 goals in his name this season, and he also scored 13 assists. He was recently named “a great player” by Ronaldinho.
There’s no doubt he has the quality to do well in the Premier League. He adds the quality he needs to his Chelsea attacking unit. They rely too much on Cole Palmer. They need more quality in a larger area, and the winger on the left is the ideal acquisition.
Rafael Leo was able to make Chelsea’s moves flashy
Portugal International is entering the peak period of his career, and he may want to compete at a high level. Chelsea was able to provide him with that platform. They are one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League. They are looking for Champions League qualification, and this year a top four finish will be an attractive destination for players.
Chelsea need top-quality players like Lea if they want to fight for a major trophy next year. They have already begun a move to sign players, and it is still unclear whether they will take the agreement with Italian outfits.
