Football super agent Jorge Mendes has concocted a plan that will see Rafael Leao join Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo head to AC Milan, a report claims.
As has been reported by Quotidiano Sportivo (via Milan News), the Portuguese agent who works with both Milan and Manchester United on occasion thinks he can please all parties with an elaborate swap deal.
His plan is for United to make a bid of €100-120 million for Portuguese star Leao, whilst also getting the Premier League side to loan Ronaldo to Milan for six months with the salary reduced to €8 million.
Ronaldo is expected to leave United this winter after multiple incidents, culminating in an interview with Piers Morgan where he said he does not respect coach Erik ten Hag.
Mendes also knows that Milan will want to sell Leao for a huge fee if they cannot get him to sign a new deal in the near future.
