Plans across the footballing world are being made ahead of the summer mercato, and with that, AC Milan could be expecting the arrival of a bumper bid sent from an elite European club for one of their prized assets.
La Repubblica (via Football Italia) have revealed that the French Giants are preparing to bid for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Milan’s prized asset, Rafael Leao. News of interest in the Portuguese winger does not come as a shock, but the plans to invest in both might.
The report suggests that the French club are set on sending a bid for the Nigerian striker in the summer and will send a bid that matches his release clause of €120million. But, the bid for Leao is not expected to equal his release clause of €175m.
Instead, the French club will look to pay a similar fee for Leao, who they would like to replace Kylian Mbappe, and bid somewhere in the region of €120m. However, if a bid arrives and it is substantially less than the Rossoneri’s asking price, they will not entertain talks.
