A super offer arrives that makes Milan hesitate: the Rossoneri club could thus decide to sacrifice the jewel Rafael Leao.
Since Milan has been managed by RedBird Capital, a US fund that acquired the majority shares from the Elliott fund, the financial plans and strategies have radically changed. Especially in operating on the summer transfer market, focusing on planning and lowering general costs.
Already last year RedBird has dictated the line: Milan will make targeted and not excessively expensive investments, especially from the point of view of the salaries granted. Furthermore, it becomes essential to obtain capital gains and impactful revenues from sales, even by sacrificing some big names. As happened last summer with the sale of Sandro Tonali, who moved to Newcastle for around 70 million euros.
This year too, according to several insiders, Milan could sell one of its jewels in the squad to be able to reinvest the money raised on new objectives. He is undoubtedly one of the players with the greatest international demand Rafael Leaothe Portuguese number 10 who is considered a ‘crack’ internationally.
The foreign club insists: it is impossible to say no to the offer for Leao
In recent weeks there have been rumors of possible foreign attacks for Rafa Leao. The Milan attacking winger had ended up on the notebooks of several top European clubs, starting with PSG, then moving on to Chelsea and Real Madrid. But at the moment the only concrete expression of interest comes from the exotic Arab championship.
Al-Hilal, champion team of the Saudi Pro League, would be ready to do crazy things to bring Leao to the Arabian peninsula. The Portuguese champion is precisely the number one objective of Riyadh’s blue-white team, complete with the first exploratory surveys. Milan initially responded with a certain coldness, but they know well that the Saudi clubs can raise the offer dramatically.
Leao himself would be tempted and attracted by the idea of earning astronomical sums, albeit in a championship that is not as prestigious and far from the spotlight of the Champions League. Milan is asking for the payment of the 175 million euro release clause, so as to obtain a record revenue and be able to effectively rebuild half the team with the proceeds of this sale.
Second The print there is therefore the possibility that Al-Hilal increases the offer and reaches an agreement with Milan, even if Leao has made it known that he wants to make a decision on his future only at the end of Euro 2024, the international competition that is playing with his Portugal shirt.
