It seems that AC Milan will be braced for offers that might arrive for Rafael Leao this summer regardless of how his renewal situation goes, a report claims.
According to a report from Le10Sport, PSG are hoping to make a big signing for their attacking department ahead of next season and if their financial resources will allow it then Leao is one of the names at the top of Luis Campos’ list, who was the sporting director at Lille when the winger was there.

It is still unclear whether PSG will have leeway to recruit this summer because of Financial Fair Play regulation, but the door is open for Lionel Messi to leave despite the fact that a renewal offer is on the table.
Campos has already been working on several options for many months and he knows Leao well. In addition to his status as one of the best young wingers in the world, there is his contractual situation that could help PSG given his deal expires in 2024 and he has not yet renewed.
That means Leao is much cheaper than Victor Osimhen on the market, for example. The report claims that while the Italian press continues to mention the existence of an agreement to extend, this is not yet the case and Jorge Mendes is receiving interest from top clubs.
Milan need a rebuild – at least 7 or 8 new faces. The first XI is (occasionally) a decent side, but the back-ups are not good enough. If selling Leao for £150m is what facilitates that rebuild, then so be it.
I mean, I like how you’re thinking, but who is going to pay £150m for Leao on the final year of his contract? Whatever you’re smoking, I want some.
He may have signed the bridge renewal by the summer. And he’s not yet in the final year of his contract, that’s next year. Maybe they’ll pay less. Either way, no need to be a dickhead about it!
another huge loss in revenue, no clue what kind of business this should be. Donnarumma, Kessie…now leao for 40
If the offer are high , better AC Milan accept that. Remember skriniar case. PSG offer 50-60m euro with his contract left one year but zhang refuse in the end skriniar go free transfer to PSG. If PSG offer 60m euro or more better accept that . It is not like i hate leao but we cannot compete with PSG offering salary to leao
Agreed. And this will almost become a certainty once we fail to qualify for the CL because for some crazy reason we’ve decided to go all in on winning that competition instead of solidifying being a top 4 club.
I’m always impressed by the huge level of defeatism / conformism of the vast majority of comments here.
Messi replacement if messi go back to barca.
Fake news.
PSG is looking for a striker to pair up with Mbappe, not a player who plays in the same position with Mbappe and its literally the only position he knows how to play.
