PSG make whopping €70 million offer to sign 22-year-old attacker: Reports
French giants PSG are reportedly interested in signing AC Milan forward Rafael Leao this summer. The Portugal international has been one of the standout performers in Serie A this season.
According to GuillaumeMP, PSG have tabled an incredible €70 million offer to AC Milan for the 22-year-old.
Rafael Leao joined AC Milan from French club Lille in a deal worth €23 million in 2019. He immediately became a regular starter and went on to score 13 goals in 73 appearances in all competitions in his first two seasons with the club.
CorSera : Le #PSG est bien le club le plus intéressé par Rafael #Leao et offre 70M à Milan. Les négociations pour sa prolongation stagnent, et le nouveau propriétaire devra probablement augmenter la proposition salariale de 4,5M. https://t.co/phXVSt08Q2
The Portuguese forward has taken his game to another level this season. He has scored 13 goals and provided nine assists in 40 appearances in all competitions. His performances have helped AC Milan climb up to the top of the Serie A table, two points ahead of second-placed Inter Milan with two games left to play.
Leao's consistent displays for Stefano Pioli's side have caught the attention of Les Parisiens. Mauricio Pochettino's side are preparing themselves for the potential departure of Kylian Mbappe. The 23-year-old's contract is set to expire at the end of the season. According to RMC Sport, Los Blancos are set to meet with members of Mbappe's family to discuss a potential move.
AC Milan could be set to undergo a change of ownership in the coming weeks as Investcorp are believed to be close to purchasing the club.
As per GuillaumeMP, the new owners will have to increase the salary package in the Rossoneri's current offer to Leao by €4.5 million to persuade the player to extend his deal.
The hike in wages would see Leao earn more than he’s currently making at €1.5-million per year. The left winger's contract with the club will expire in 2024.
PSG could switch their attention to Lille star if they fail to sign AC Milan forward Rafael Leao
AC Milan are seemingly heading in the right direction under Stefano Pioli as the club are in pole position to win the Serie A title this season. They are likely to receive the funds required to sign their top transfer targets from their new owners once the takeover is complete. Rafael Leao could, therefore, reject the advances of PSG and opt to stay at the San Siro.
The Ligue 1 giants could switch their attention to Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.
The 24-year-old has been one of the Red Devil's standout players in recent years but has arguably endured one of the worst campaigns of his career this season. He has scored just five goals in 32 appearances for the club in all competitions this season.
PSG already have an agreement in principle with Marcus Rashford. He could be a replacement for Kylian Mbappé's departure this summer.
