This summer, Rafael Leao will likely leave AC Milan and he has made his desire very clear at this point. However, no one is coming to get him.
For a player like Leao to be available at the start of the mercato, you’d imagine teams would be flocking to secure a deal. However, it is all very quiet where he is concerned. Well, that is if you ignore his persistent comments to the media.

In the past two weeks, three admissions that his time with Milan is done have been released, though the latest was filmed before the end of the season.
The situation generally isn’t great for either party.
Two interested in Leao
Arsenal and Manchester United have both enquired about the forward, but whether they will take any further steps forward remains to be seen. Instead, it seems that the only two contenders currently are Chelsea and Galatasaray.
Indeed, Corriere dello Sport, via MilanNews, reports that they are the only two seemingly interested. Yet, neither has sent a concrete offer. Now, that may be due to the situation with the Rossoneri internally.
Either way, though, it doesn’t scream that there is plenty of interest in what should be one of the biggest mercato movers this summer. Maybe the World Cup will change things, but it’s a lot of hope to rest on one tournament…
