At the end of April, we covered claims made by Milan Live that Wolverhampton Wanderers have emerged as an option for AC Milan’s Rafael Leão.
The forward finished last season with seven goals and six assists in all competitions, but his future is ‘yet to be written’, according to Calciomercato.
Stefano Pioli’s side have not made the 22-year-old available in the market, but his agent, Jorge Mendes has warned Paolo Maldini his client ‘can say goodbye’ to the San Siro this summer.
Last week, Mendes met with the Italian club’s leaders last week, where he made clear that he anticipates important offers for the former Sporting man.
The website states ‘all the clues lead to the Premier League’, where Wolves are fighting with Everton for his signing. It’s claimed the two sides have ‘long been interested’ in the player.
Wolves must also pay attention to Marseille as the Ligue 1 side have ‘activated the track’ with Mendes, to sign Leão.
Maldini, for his part, will ‘only consider offers over €30m’ for Leão.
Whether Bruno Lage’s new club are ready to meet Milan’s demands isn’t made clear in the report, but it’s definitely one keeping an eye on.
