Galatasaray have made their first offer for Rafael Leao but it has been rejected by AC Milan, according to reports.
According to the latest from Sky, Galatasaray’s first bid for Leao arrived in the last few hours. The offer presented to Milan is €30m plus €5m in bonuses, but the Rossoneri have rejected it and are holding firm on their asking price.

At least €50m will be needed to land the Portuguese, so the offer is some way short. The player, for his part, has not yet given his full openness to the idea of making a move to Turkey.
A salary of more than €12-13m net per year will be needed to convince him and dissolve all of the doubts. In any case, Galatasaray will continue to insist, and Milan expect an improved offer.
Meanwhile, MilanNews confirm that Galatasaray’s first offer for Leao has arrived and it was €35m including bonuses. Currently, there’s no scope for the deal to go through, because of the €15m+ gap between supply and demand.
The source have also learned that the winger has stated his desire to remain at Milan for the time being, but the club are still working on his exit. The timing suggests the situation could be clearer after mid-August.
I’ve told you. 35M€ will be the opening offers. Cardinale spoke about 40M being enough in May. He’ll get what he asked for, clubs will offer 40M, final offer. Guy is a genius.
Where did Cardinale spoke that 40 mil would be enough?
In May of 2026. You can find it on Sempre Milan and anywhere. He fired everyone and then went to show he’s the man by talking with journalists “in private”. They couldn’t wait to keep it private. 😀
“MilanNews have relayed what they learned from the meeting between Gerry Cardinale and several members of the press, held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Milan. According to the owner (who follows Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s lead), the Portuguese’s journey at the club is considered over.

Rumours have stated that even modest offers (starting at €40m) might be enough to open the door to a Leao sale. Given that such evaluations should be made with a CEO, sporting director and head coach, leaking this position is risky. It’s ‘like saying a house is faulty when you have to sell it’.”
The first word says it all : “Rumours have stated…”… Do you know what’s that supose to mean ?
Do they think that we’ll stop him a week before transfer market closes? It’s either sell in the next week or he stays
Very insulting offer. Leao is worth far more than that. Please don’t sell
Good. Leao resta!
Lol. Ok. A player who has not been worth his salary for three seasons, stated that he wants to leave, and IF he is willing to discuss renewal will ask for 10M, which Milan will not pay. But “Leao resta”. Then, he’ll have another subpar season playing AM and next summer will have one year left on his contract, which will force us to sell him for 20-25M a la Theo. But “Leao resta”. Yay!
😂
Well said mlan, the guy hasn’t performed in ages. He’s lazy, sloppy and has 0% desire to stay. Let the sloth go asap, can’t watch him anymore in a Milan jersey.
Can we just stop with these Turkish clubs? We know they always come with the low ball kind of offers. This is not their first. Won’t be the last. Such a waste of time.
60 + bonusi ili nek ostane
sell Leao & relies provider to pk only Nkunku, always not fit/ injury RLC & Pulisic, sound like good idea
50mil or nothing
We are risking losing him for free while someone is like “Leao resta!” He is going to his last year of the contract and he is not getting a renewal from the management for sure. And he will definitely have another average season while making the highest salary on the team. What is so exciting about “Leao resta” my lord. People please.
