AC Milan could look into signing Luis Sinisterra from Leeds United should they lose Rafael Leao, according to journalist Carlo Pellegatti.
According to Pellegatti – who spoke to Numero Diaz (via TEAMtalk) and often has the inside track on targets – the Colombian winger is a player than Milan could look to if they were to lose Rafael Leao at some point in the coming transfer windows.
Leao was strongly linked with Chelsea during the summer transfer window and while he ended up remaining at the club there are worries about whether he will renew his contract which expires in June 2024, meaning a sale could become topical again.
Pellegatti said on Milan’s interest in Sinisterra: “If unfortunately, and let’s hope not, Leao had to leave, a player I would like and who looks a lot like him is Sinisterra, today at Leeds.”
Leeds signed Sinisterra in the summer and penned a contract until 2027 after Raphinha had left for big money. However, the Rossoneri could well be in line to net a huge sum if Leao did leave and could potentially meet the asking price of the Premier League club.
As the Charles De Ketelaere saga over the summer proved, the ability to play for a historic club that will likely compete for trophies in the years to come and play in the Champions League is a very big draw.
Yeah, OK sure, Pellegatti.
The only way Milan can move for Sinisterra is if he massively flops at Leeds. Otherwise there is no realistic way Milan can get him.
Leeds paid 25 mil for him this summer. Just by being employed for 1 day by an English club they inflate a players fee by 50 mil. So if Milan or anyone wants to buy Sinisterra anytime soon it will cost them 75 mil . EPL tax
Lol, if he was on the shortlist he won’t be any more, this is not an achievable target
Pellegatti WTH 🤣 if Milan gets 100+ from Chelsea for leao . I don’t think A newly bought player it’s good option. For me could be some of them Cody Gakpo (RW LW ST 35-45M) Jonathan David (ST CF LW RW 50-60M) Kamardeen Sulemana (LW RW CF 15-25M) Quentin Merlin (LB LWB 10-15M) Adrien Truffert (LB LM 15-20M) Brandon Williams (LB LWB 10-15M) Victor Osimhen (ST 70-85M) Gerard Moreno (ST RM LM 30-40M) Brian Brobbey 20-30M Sergej Milenkovic Savic 35-40M CDM CM CAM)
Yeah…. Like Leeds is gonna be nice to us considering how we hijacked their CDK deal.
Pellegatti is a joke. No one should care what he says.
only saint maximin will fit to replace leao
