Chelsea are interested in signing AC Milan attacker Rafael Leao during the summer transfer window, and they are now stepping up their efforts to complete the deal.
According to a report by Fichajes, they are ready to go all out to sign the Portuguese International Attacker, who had 12 goals and 13 assists last season. Over the years, he has become a player in Italian clubs and is known as the “outstanding” player.
Leo is also linked to Arsenal, with a £147 million release clause.
Chelsea needs more quality
Chelsea needs more depth and quality in the offensive unit, and the 25-year-old may be the ideal acquisition. The Portuguese International team has excellent technical attributes and physicality in the Premier League, and he will add the forefront in the last third.
The opportunity to showcase his qualities in British football will be very exciting for the players. He is at the top of his strength and he will hope to test himself at a higher level. Moving to the UK now might be his ideal choice.
Can Chelsea sign Rafael Leo?
He is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition, and Milan will seek to collect as many key players as possible. Whether Chelsea is ready to spend a lot of money on him remains to be seen. They qualify for the Champions League and they need quality players to do well next season.
If he joins the club, Leo may upgrade Mykhailo Mudryk next season.
Meanwhile, the report claims Portugal International is a priority target for Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca. He hopes the Blues can quickly reach the deal.
