AC Milan star Rafael Leao sends surprise defiant message amid PSG & Chelsea transfer speculation

The Portugal international pledged his loyalty to AC Milan amid rumours of him leaving the Serie A giants in the summer. Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly keen on signing the player ahead of the 2024/25 campaign but Leao claimed he remains committed to the Rossoneri.

WHAT HAPPENED?

In an interview with Corriere della Sera, Leao said, "My future is at Milan. I'm here and I still have a four-year contract. Milan helped me when I was in a very difficult situation, they were close to me. I don't forget, I'm loyal. I arrived as a boy, here I grew as a man and as a footballer.

Chelsea too are chasing the 24-year-old as they look to bolster their attack after yet another disappointing campaign.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The attacker will be next seen in action for the Italian club on Thursday as they take on Slavia Praha in the first leg of their Europa League Round of 16 fixture.
