Transfer expert Florian Plettenberg reports that Rafael Leao wants to leave Milan, and the Rossoneri are open to listening to offers exceeding €70 million.

According to the report on X, formerly Twitter, Leao has already informed the Rossoneri about his decision.

Leao, 25, is under contract with Milan until June 2028 and has a €175m clause included in his contract.

Milan, however, are seeking offers exceeding €70m ‘guaranteed’ according to Plettenberg.

Bayern Munich are said to be among the clubs monitoring the Portuguese star, but have only had preliminary contacts and are not yet preparing an offer at this stage.

The Bavarians are still assessing their options for the left wing, and Leao is on their list.

Leao scored 12 goals and provided 13 assists in 50 appearances across all competitions with Milan. His contribution, however, was insufficient to enable the Rossoneri to qualify for any European competition.

Milan are also ready to send Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City, with the Dutch midfielder expected to undergo medical tests on Sunday.

  1. Let’s hope these yanks sell all the stars and leave the club with all the money they can get. It would still be a win for us fans.

  2. All those wantaway stars displayed their sentiments in the second half of the season with lazy and disinterested performances. It’s the end of any illusion that Milan could ever get back to the top of European football.

  3. Milan was on the verge for revolution 2.0…
    80-90m would be enough for both part. money would never be an issue for Bayern, one of the healthy club in European football…

  4. Hahaha the most nonchalant person on the pitch is asking for a way out good gracious I will gladly sell him these guys are only loyal to their feelings and their pocket there’s nothing outstanding about him we waited for like 3yrs to become the star he thinks he’s today I pray 80-90mil let sell all these crappies and rebuild

  6. The plan should have been to Sell Lazy Leao and keep Rienders! Rafa should have asked to leave months ago and Rienders would have never had to be sold. Goodbye part time Footballer, part time Rapper and Part time Cat walk model, master of nothing! Thanks for the 80 million is the only silver lining.
