Aston Villa e Milan hanno avuto un primo contatto esplorativo per Rafael Leão. Il portoghese, aperto alla Premier, non ha ancora ricevuto un approccio ufficiale dall’Aston Villa. Ad ora, operazione alle battute iniziali. Sullo sfondo resta ancora attivo il Galatasaray che fino ad ora non si è avvicinato alle richieste del Milan. Il club rossonero ha sempre chiesto una cifra intorno ai 50-60 milioni di euro bonus compresi.
Translated: Aston Villa and Milan had initial exploratory contact over Leão; no formal offer yet, deal early stage; Galatasaray also interested but below Milan's €50-60m asking price
