AC Milan are planning to make a move for Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz in the summer if Rafael Leao were to leave the club, a report claims.
As has been reported by Calciomercato.it, the German youngster would set the Rossoneri back somewhere between €60-70 million but that could grow as the season continues.
He has been very highly rated for around two years now but he suffered a serious injury that has kept him out for most of the current campaign. He returned recently though and has been amongst the goals, showing that he is the real deal.
There is still a very real chance that Leao could be leaving the club this summer if Milan do not agree a new contract for him and Milan will then have money in the bank and the need for a new attacker.
Some very big and wealthy clubs will also be trying to sign Wirtz.
And if Leao leaves for free as per our usual transfer policy?
Than don’t worry. We have Ac Milan newspaper who will show us analytics, that was best decisions by American non intelligent owners.
At this point all the power is with him and moving for free would make most financial sense to him
Kid has remarkable foot skills and a footballing mind. But ACL injury, have to see how he does over the next several months.
LOL. You made it sound as ACL injury is THAT difficult. It’s not. You rehabilitate it for 6-9 months and after 15-18 months it’s as good as it ever was and you won’t even remember it ever was operated. Unless you look at the tiny scars it leaves.
I know what I’m talking about as I’ve experienced it. The first year is rough but after that it’s like nothing ever happened.
He should be back to his normal self next season.
Despite the wishful thinking of some people on this site, we’re not going to be getting much more than 70m for Leao with a year left on his contract, if we get even that, which makes this move next to impossible. Further, it wouldn’t make much sense spending everything we make on Leao on a single player given our current needs at 2-3 positions, plus then also having to replace Leao.
Should be signing this kid replacing Diaz he’s killer. Once CDK proves it we would have a solid you core. Just need to get a real number 9
Even though leao is sold for hefty fee, they won’t spend that much as they want to keep some of the money to make balance sheet positive, as to get extra loan money to make new stadium. Again we’ll only get a random youn french unknown talent.
