As has been reported by Tuttosport (via Milan News), the Ligue 1 champions are going to be major players in the transfer market this summer, as they always are anyway, because they need to replace the goals that they lose with Mbappe’s departure.
He is expected to sign for Real Madrid on a free transfer, having communicated to PSG that he will not be signing a new contract.
That puts every club in Europe with talented wide forwards on alert as PSG have got a lot of financial muscle and offer an opportunity to win trophies, albeit with limited competition given the gap between them and their competitors in Ligue 1.
Their sporting director is the Portuguese Luis Campos, who knows Leao very well, and he thinks that the Rossoneri star could be an ideal replacement for Mbappe, with Milan braced for offers.
He has played well against PSG in the past, but having signed a new contract last season, it would take a lot of money to make Milan sell him. It is hard to picture Milan demanding any less than €100m for their most valuable asset.
