The point of TMW about Leao
Raphael Leao he had a release clause of 175 million euros, which expired over a month ago. It was the only way to avoid talking to Milan about a possible transfer, which, in this transfer window, will not happen. The Portuguese is too expensive for anyone, perhaps because the European Championship with Portugal did not go as well as could have been expected. No one has ever even come close to 100 million, a figure that could have shaken Milan’s intentions to keep him in the squad. Now, however, Leao is unsellable. There can be no compromises, not even at the last minute. So for this season he will remain in Milan, while for next summer, when the clause will be reactivated, we will see what to do. In the meantime, however, there will have been another Champions League, in addition to possible new offers for the Rossoneri striker. Therefore, there is no intention of selling him under any circumstances, especially with imaginative exchanges that Barcelona had already feared in the last few hours. With all due respect to Jorge Mendes. Because the super agent had tried to bring offers to Milan for Leao, but he will have to sit out a shift. Then in a summer we will see, for both parties. Knowing full well that, in fact, there will still be 175 million of termination clause and that Milan does not need to sell to raise cash.
