Rafael Leao is subject to rumours of a move from AC Milan to Turkey this summer and now an intermediary has been put on the case.
At the start of the summer, Leao had opened himself up to a move to Arsenal or Manchester United, or any team in a top league away from Italy. However, as the summer has progressed, the interest has not arrived and his options away from Milan do not look as he had hoped.

New Leao movement
Jorge Mendes, as reports previously suggested, was in charge of finding a move for the star, but it would seem that this is no longer the case. Indeed, Yagiz Sabuncuoglu and other Turkish sources have reported that George Gardi is now on the case, as MilanVibes relays.
The Florence-native was actually put forward as an option for the Rossoneri earlier in the window, but in an incoming sense. In fact, the suggestion was that he could be the one to get deals done as a ‘special super consultant’.
However, it never went any further than the rumours.
In Leao’s, Gardi will be responsible for negotiating with Fenerbahce and Galatasaray for a potential exit this summer. The big caveat, though, is that nothing will really be possible until Leao is open to the move.
Only he can open negotiations with one of the two teams, so whilst a deal can be almost given the green light, nothing happens until Leao says.
