Chelsea will face fresh competition in their pursuit of Portugese star this summer. The player has decrease in his transfer fee which has attracted interest from Liverpool.
The star in question here is Rafael Leao. The Blues tried to sign him in 2022 but AC Milan wanted his €150 million release clause to be paid fully. This resulted in deal ending in failure and Leao staying at Italy. But, the situation has changed and the player is once again on move.
Barcelona started to show interest in Leao couple of months ago. They were once again joined by Chelsea who are in need of new winger. AC Milan are happy with Leao but can be still forced to sell him. In addition, they may even decrease his transfer fee.
As of now, Milan are set to miss out on UCL spot and hence many of their top players will leave the club. Chelsea will finally be able to have a go at Rafael Leao but will have to beat multiple clubs in order to land him.
