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.

CONFIRMED: Todd Boehly finally decides on FIVE players who will be leaving Stamford Bridge in the summer.

Todd Boehly has decided he will offload five Chelsea players. Since taking over as Co-owner of Chelsea, it has not clicked for Todd Boehly despite splashing the cash to sign some of the big names in world football. Consecutive run of losses and sloppy display from players are two core reasons the Blues will be considering a squad overhaul this summer, and five players will be offloaded. According to a report from the Spanish publication SPORT, it is claimed that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Hakim Ziyech, Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are being lined up for sale which could raise a whopping £129 million. 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.

CFC | TEAM NEWS Available squad numbers for Christopher Nkunku, Diego Moreira and Nicolas Jackson revealed. Chelsea are still very busy in the transfer market. Lots of players are yet to be assigned squad numbers. Chelsea have got a lot of numbers to hand out. If there is any club where squad numbers could be a bit of a mystery at the moment, it's Chelsea. After the huge influx of purchases last summer and in January 2023, the opposite has happened in the summer of 2023. Loads of senior players have been sold by Chelsea as they look to trim the wage bill and general squad size, partly for Financial Fair Play but also for sporting reasons. There were simply too many of them last season and they are still selling actively. It has not all been sales, as some players have come through the door at Chelsea, so there could be loads of different squad numbers compared to last season. As it stands, here are Chelsea's squad numbers for the 2023/24 campaign. Chelsea squad numbers...
