On September 1, Beijing time, according to the well-known Spanish media "As" broke the news, the Premier League giants Chelsea wanted to introduce Milan winger Rafael Leo at the last moment of the summer window, and provided a 100 million euro offer to the Rossoneri, but this offer did not win the recognition of AC Milan, and was finally rejected, if Chelsea want to introduce Raphael Leo, it must continue to increase the offer.
The 23-year-old Raphael Leo has been outstanding last season, starting 38 times in 42 games for Milan, scoring 14 goals and providing 11 assists, especially in the key battle for the title, Raphael Leo has repeatedly contributed to the Rossoneri's second Serie A title in 11 years. With his outstanding performances, Rafael Leo has also attracted the attention of many giants, including Premier League giants Chelsea.
After Chelsea changed ownership, the club's core strategy was changed to the "genius plan". This summer, Chelsea spent a lot of money to bring in Wesley Fafana, Chucuemeca, Cesare Casadei, Gabriel Slonina and many other new stars, facing the increasingly outstanding Rafael Leo, Chelsea did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to try to bring in the new star of Portugal's popular striker.
After the start of the new season, Raphael Leo performed mediocrely, scoring only 1 goal in the first 4 rounds, but even so, Maldini has always regarded Raphael Leo as a "non-sale", in the face of Chelsea's hundreds of millions of euros of offers, Maldini and Marsala did not make concessions, they put Raphael Leo at a price of 150 million euros, which is enough to deter many followers, but to this day, Chelsea has not given up on bringing in Rafael Leo.
At present, Raphael Leo's willingness to leave the team is not strong, and he does not want to switch to other teams immediately after being able to get the absolute core in Milan, not to mention that Milan is now in a revival stage. However, it is also difficult for Milan to renew Raphael Leo, because they are saddled with huge debts, so the players hope to get a high salary, but unfortunately this is what Maldini is unwilling to satisfy, and the renewal negotiations between the two sides have also been stalled.
Raphael Leo's contract with Milan expires in the summer of 2024, and Maldini and Massala will certainly do their best to renew the new star. For Raphael Leo, if he wants to get the annual salary of the top salary level in the team, he must perform better. In the new season, Milan will not only face multi-line battles, but also encounter the devil's schedule, and Raphael Leo will also have a great opportunity to prove himself.
