Premier League side Chelsea has launched the first bid for AC Milan forward Rafael Leao who is yet to sign a contract extension with the Rossoneri, a report claims.
As has been reported by Spanish media outlet Fichajes.net, it is Europe’s big spenders of the last two windows, Chelsea, that have moved first in what is likely to be a long race for Leao’s signature.
It is believed that Chelsea are willing to pay around €100 million for the Portuguese forward. That is thought to be the absolute minimum that Milan would consider accepting to let Leao leave.
The Rossoneri are still trying to get him to sign a new contract in the near future. The negotiations have been going on for a very long time.
With his current deal expiring in June 2024, it is time for Milan to either secure his renewal or sell him for a fee close to his actual value.
