£70M Seria A star makes decision about joining Chelsea in January
Rafael Leao is not interested in a move to the likes of CHELSEA in the January transfer window amid all the speculation that a move for the AC Milan star could happen.
The 25-year-old winger, widely regarded as one of the most exciting attacking talents in world football, has developed into one of the most creative players in Seria A over the past few seasons
Enjoying his sixth year at the San Siro, Leao has well and truly settled into life in Milan following a 2019 switch from Lille and his performances in Italy have caught the attention of some of Europe’s elite teams, including Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea.
Leao is tied into a deal with Milan until 2028 and reports have suggested the Portugal international had an eye-watering €175m (£150m) release clause – which would have to be paid in full by potential suitors to force a move.
But the forward faces an uncertain future at AC Milan after losing his guaranteed starting spot under manager Paulo Foneseca this season, and there has been some reports that a move may happen in the January window.
However – a move to the Premier League is not of in his plans, according to MilanLive and he would prefer to stay in Italian football or make the move to La Liga, where Barcelona remain keen.

There has been some reports that Enzo Maresca is looking to add some more quality to that attack, and Leao could definitely do that judging by his performances over the past few seasons.
But again, he is not really the type of player that Maresca needs and CHELSEA need to sign a striker, not another winger that can play in a number of positions.
Leao would not be a better option that what the club have now.
