According to 'Tuttosport', Rafael Leao is getting closer to leaving AC Milan. Therefore, clubs have shown interest in the Portuguese player, among them Real Madrid. They will be alert to developments in upcoming months ahead of a possible signing.

Just a month ago, AC Milan director of football Frederic Massara said that he would likely reach an agreement with Rafael Leao to extend his contract and put a clause of 150 million euros, but the truth is that a long time past and there was still no progress on that.

In 2024, his contract at the Italian side will expire, more than enough time to be able to renew him. Nevertheless, growing interest in teams like Real Madrid, Man City and PSG meant that Milan acted immediately. 

'Tuttosport' says that time is against the Italians as an agreement with another club could come in the coming months. Nevertheless, the 'Rossoneri' have their eyes on Okafor, who would be his replacement. 

Despite this, both parties seem willing to reach agreement, but Real Madrid could take advantage of this to tell Rafael Leao that they are willing to sign him for next season.
