Chelsea are showing strong interest in Portugese attacker ahead of summer window. They are now joined by their london rivals Arsenal in the race. The North London side have already made contact to sign him in summer window.
Chelsea are headed for another big summer window. They are set to make multiple signings in almost all parts of the pitch. Enzo Maresca will be backed to bring in players of his choice. The Italian is keen to improve his final third.
The Blues are set to sign a new striker and a winger. As for winger, they want a player playing primarily on left. But, they also want him to play on right and in middle when needed. As of now, they have been linked with multiple stars amongst which one is Rafael Leao.
Arsenal join the race for Rafael Leao
According to Daniele Longo, Gunners have joined the race for Leao. In addition, they have already made contact to sign him. This will come as a big blow for Chelsea as they will now need to beat competition from more clubs.
Arsenal are also willing to sign a new left-winger. They want an upgrade over both Martinelli and Trossard. They are also willing to sell Trossard if needed in order to raise funds. Leao will surely be an upgrade and the signing Mikel Arteta needs to win the major titles.
Leao is very likely to leave AC Milan this summer. The Italian giants have fell short to qualify for Champions League. Hence, many of their key players are set to leave. Leao has €175 million release clause but will cost lot less than that this summer.
Leao has proved himself on top stage for both club and country. At Arsenal, he will directly get into lineup above Martinelli and Trossard. He can also serve as backup for Saka. On the other hand, he will also get directly into starting lineup at Chelsea ahead of their current wingers.
