Rafael Leao: United target’s stance on Premier League transfer emerges

Leao remains Milan’s most high-profile attacker, but he has endured a difficult campaign under Massimiliano Allegri. His relationship with the club has become strained, and the Portuguese winger was met with loud boos at the San Siro last month.
This development has alerted Europe’s top clubs, with United seemingly at the front of the queue.

According to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, Rafael Leao‘s time to say goodbye has arrived, as there is a feeling that something is broken in the relationship between him and AC Milan.
The former Lille sensation is bitter about the treatment he received from Milan fans.
It is claimed Milan are ready to listen to offers between €50 million (£43.3m) and €60m (£52m) in the summer despite a €175 million release clause.
