Journalist claims agent Jorge Mendes will be in Italy to discuss future of winger with Milan

Agent Jorge Mendes is due in Italy this week and he will meet with AC Milan to discuss the future of Rafael Leao, it is claimed.

According to journalist Nicolò Schira, Mendes will arrive in Milan this week and he is planning meetings regarding the players that he represents, with Leao among his clients. The Portuguese agent will meet Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara to discuss the future of the former Lille star, amid rumours that he could be sold.

There are rumours circulating among various sources suggesting that clubs from abroad are interested, with Marseille, Everton, Wolverhampton and Borussia Dortmund all mentioned in particular. Mendes will ask to know the intentions of the management and could also table any proposals from interested clubs.

Calciomercato.com recently reported that Milan do not see Leao’s sale as a necessity but rather as an opportunity to monetise and finance other movements, with a €30m price set and Borussia Dortmund the player’s preferred destination.
