In the upcoming January mercato, a few moves could be made in and out of AC Milan. However, one player is almost impossible to move.
There is always interest in Rafael Leao. A player of his stature does not go without some talk. However, there is interest and discussion. The two are separate, and it is a two-way street if talks open.

With Leao, it is difficult to see any talks opening, other than ones for him to stay. In recent weeks, it has been suggested that Milan want to renew his deal already.
Leao to Turkey?
So, any suggestions about an exit are difficult to believe at all, let alone in the upcoming January mercato.
MilanNews, this afternoon, report that Galatasaray have the Portuguese star on their transfer list, and could even make a move in January. He sits alongside Ademola Lookman in the potential target list. However, nothing will happen, it seems.
The Rossoneri are not selling Leao, and there have been no contacts made with any party by the Turkish giants. Furthermore, the star is ‘completely focused’ on the Diavolo, and a transfer in January is not on his mind at all.
Interest and talks are two separate things, and who wouldn’t dream of having a Ferrari? Even if it is not at all feasible.
Did Galatasaray had a rich uncle die? Where’s their budget coming from?
😂 the creative financing of these clubs is wild..
Dejan, everything is “creative” when you don’t have the brain capacity to understand basic things.
Well they have a huge fanbase that is fanatical and they sell a lot of merch. Also their sponsorship deals per year bring in about the same as top Italian clubs. And they sold their old training grounds for 600M€.
only you would be dumb enough to think Turkish league team makes more money than even an EPL team
nice 10/10 logic
I think the Turkish government is helping its clubs subvert UEFA budget rules. I vaguely remember reading about that. In Turkey the sentiment is that FFP is meant to keep rich clubs rich and clubs from outside the top 5 from being able to match the spending power of top clubs.
Where is the money coming from? Apparently they’re about to sell their (old) training ground (prime Istanbul real estate) for about 800 million €.
A contract for ads with a Turkish bus company for a zillion Euros.
Sure can do. Prepare forty million plus yilmaz, singo, and icardi with compliments, sir.
Oshimen + €40M would be much better even though he has a non-Italian clause although I am sure there is a way around it.
And who says there’s no comedy in football? Hahaha
Yess Gala.. give them 100m and the rest is history..
