The Chelsea has initiated informal contacts with Rafael Leão, the current star of AC Milan, to explore the possibility of signing him in the upcoming summer transfer window. Under the management of Enzo Maresca, the Londoners aim to add imbalance and speed on the wings, and the Portuguese forward stands out as one of the main targets to strengthen the offensive line.

Leão, 25 years old, has been one of the most consistent figures of the Rossoneri team in recent seasons, standing out for his ability to make a difference in one-on-one situations. Despite criticism of his performance at times during this season, his numbers remain respectable: 12 goals and 13 assists in 48 matches. His talent is undeniable, although there is some dissatisfaction at San Siro regarding his apparent lack of consistency and commitment in certain key moments of the year.

Chelsea Wants to Sign Rafael Leao

There have been no clear intentions from the player's camp to leave Milan, where he has a valid contract and enjoys a prominent role. However, the uncertainty surrounding the club —with an ongoing change in the sports director— could create an opportunity for clubs looking to tempt him away.

Chelsea, which has struggled to establish a competitive attacking unit, sees Leão as a top-tier reinforcement for their new project. The price and terms of the transfer are yet to be defined, but the initial movements have already begun. In London, they hope that the change in Milan's cycle will facilitate a challenging negotiation, though not impossible. The ball is in Leão's court.
