Some sensational background has emerged regarding the schemes of Jorge Mendes during the summer transfer window involving Rafael Leao.
A number of sources reported that Leao was attracting the interest of Chelsea who in turn decided to make their move late in the transfer window, but in the end there was never anything advanced and the Portuguese winger remained at the club.
According to what Gianluca Di Marzio revealed to Sky (via SempreMilan.it), his agent Jorge Mendes wanted to pull off a huge move that would have seen Rafael Leao move to Chelsea and then Cristiano Ronaldo would have headed to Milan from Manchester United as his potential replacement.
The deal, however, was very quickly dead in the water because Milan rejected any notion of them losing Leao close to the deadline, without even considering Mendes’ idea of bringing Cristiano and his huge salary demands to the Rossoneri.
i taj mendes nije zdrave glave ako je mislio da če to proč u milanu
Let anything that concerns Cristiano Ronaldo not be associated with Milan, I’m begging. Unless he is recommending a player.
We couldn’t keep Kessie and Dollaruma lol signing Ronaldo would bankrupt us
Fvck Mendes 🖕
Ronaldo already passed his prime. He’s at the edge of retirement but still asking extravagant salary. He’s not a team leader either. Meanwhile Leao still have a long career.
But
Cr salary 24m euro nett . It is hard for any italian club pay that amount even just half ( 12m euro nett) . CR already passed his prime and not starter team in his club anymore. We can only sign CR if he agree 4m -5m euro nett salary . For Leao better try renew him till summer ( negotiating) if he still refuse then sell him in summer not jamuary
Agree…
