Galatasaray are reportedly attempting to sign AC Milan winger Rafael Leao with a lucrative contract offer as interest grows in the Portugal international.
Galatasaray are reportedly preparing an ambitious move for AC Milan winger Rafael Leao as the Turkish champions look to strengthen their squad with a major summer signing.
According to reports, AC Milan could be willing to sell the Portuguese international for around £43 million, a figure significantly lower than his valuation from just a few years ago.
Leao was previously considered a player worth close to £100 million during the peak of his performances in Serie A. However, a dip in form combined with his current contract situation has reportedly lowered Milan’s asking price.
Despite that, the 26-year-old remains one of Europe’s most dangerous attacking players and is still widely viewed as entering the prime years of his career. His pace, dribbling ability, and physical power continue to attract interest from several clubs across Europe.
Reports claim Galatasaray have already made the first major move in the race for his signature. There are claims that the Turkish club have offered Leão a salary package worth €10 million per season plus additional bonuses.

The Istanbul giants are eager to convince the Portugal star to join their ambitious project ahead of next season as they continue looking to compete at the highest European level.
Leao is also expected to play an important role for Portugal at this year’s World Cup, where his performances on the international stage could further increase interest in him from top clubs.
Although Galatasaray have moved early, the race to sign Leão remains far from settled. Several elite European sides, including clubs from the Premier League, are still monitoring the situation closely as uncertainty surrounding his future at AC Milan continues.
