World class £88M star responds to rumors he is joining Chelsea at the end of the season!

The Brilliant £88M star has responded to rumors he will be joining Chelsea at the end of the season. 

Ac Milan star, and Chelsea target, Rafael Leao has responded to rumors he will be joining Chelsea at the end of the season. 

Chelsea have long been linked with the Portuguese since last summer. His contract expires in 2024 and there have been talks rumored to be ongoing between him and the Serie A outfit. However, Leao continues to attract interest from several other clubs. One of such is Chelsea. 

Leao had in the past expressed his desire to play in the Premier League but a new interview seems to raise the dust over his dreams of playing in England in the future. 

‘I don’t like the weather there [in England],’ Leao said in an interview on YouTube. ‘I went shopping the first time I went to London.’

Speaking about Chelsea’s attempt to sign Leao last summer, AC Milan technical director Paolo Maldini said: ‘Rafa knows that to become stronger than now the solution is to stay with us.

‘Chelsea’s officially written offer did not arrive but on an informal level it did. Of course, it was rejected.’

Leao has been one of AC Milan’s most important players over the past four seasons, registering 36 goals and 31 assists across 147 games for the club.

Per reports, Leao is believed to be worth over £100M, a fee which seems ridiculous for a player of his calibre. However, it remains to be seen if Chelsea will go all out to acquire his signature.

If the market values of the players in question are met, it would provide the incoming Chelsea manager with a hefty transfer chest to spend and bring in a couple of new faces to bolster the squad over the summer.
