Chelsea are showing strong interest in Portugese attacker ahead of summer window. As per the latest reports, they are ready to speed up the pursuit. The player currently plays for Serie A giants and is ready to move-on this summer.
Chelsea are interested to improve their attack even further. They have qualified for Champions League and hence will now back Enzo Maresca. The Italian is keen to add another winger to his side. In contrast, all Mudryk, Nkunku and Felix are linked with exit.
The Blues are yet to decide about the future of Sancho. They will make him their permanent player only if he agrees to lower his wages. Either way, the Blues are keen to add another left-winger. As of now, they are showing strong interest in AC Milan star.

The star in question here is Rafael Leao. He is 25 years old Portugese winger who is one of the best in the world right now in his position. The Blues have Leao as their long-term target. According to Fichajes, they are now likely to speed-up their process. The report states that the West London club is ready to go all out for Leao.
Milan will not play in Champions League next season. Hence, many of their top players including Leao are set to depart. The Portugese has €175 million release clause in his contract. But, the Italian giants can allow him to let him leave for lot less than that this summer.
Leao can directly get into the starting lineup of Chelsea. He will be an upgrade on almost every winger currently at Stamford Bridge. But, he will not come cheap and hence the Blues should be ready to empty their pockets for him. The Leao transfer saga is going to get very interesting in the coming days.
