Mediaset: The figure Milan could recoup from Leao sale and how it will be spent

AC Milan can likely expect to receive around €80 million from any sale of Rafael Leao in the summer and there is an idea of how the money could be used to replace him, a report claims. 

As has been reported by Sport Mediaset (via Milan News), the Portuguese winger is increasingly looking likely to leave the club this summer given there is still no breakthrough in the contract negotiations.

If he does not accept the offer of €7.5 million including bonuses on a four-year contract, it is hard to picture him not leaving the club. Milan would rather sell him this summer for a fee than lose him next summer for free.

If they were to get €80 million for his sale in the summer, Frederic Massara and Paolo Maldini would like to spread that over two signings for the attack.

The favoured targets are thought to be RB Salzburg’s Noah Okafor and Mateo Retegui from Tigre for a combined fee of just under €50 million.
