Chelsea ready to pay €120m to sign Rafael Leao

Chelsea are reportedly prepared to pay around €120 million to prise away Rafael Leao from AC Milan next year.

The west London giants bolstered their attack with the signings of Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Estevao Willian, Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens last summer.

Despite this, they continue to be linked with forwards, and Fichajes claim that the Blues are weighing up a stunning €120 million bid to land Leao from the Rossoneri.

Leao has been linked with a Premier League move for some time, and the Blues could reportedly make a huge offer to persuade the Rossoneri to sanction his transfer.

Chelsea have primarily focused on landing players aged 23 or below as part of their transfer policy. Judging by that, it is unlikely that they will approach for Leao.

Leao is already 26 and may not fit into their transfer strategy. Furthermore, the Blues have been more cautious with their spending and may not make such a huge outlay.
