Reports from Italy indicate that Turkish club Galatasaray is gearing up to present new offers for AC Milan and winger Rafael Leao, whose future remains uncertain as the summer transfer window approaches its close.
Galatasaray Prepares New Offers for Milan and Leao
At the conclusion of the 2025-26 season, Leao indicated he was considering a departure from Milan after seven seasons, seeking a fresh challenge, preferably in La Liga or the Premier League.

While Leao’s representatives have reportedly been discussing his transfer with several prominent clubs across Europe, no formal proposals have yet surfaced from teams in Spain or England.
Interest has come from Turkey, particularly from Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. Recent reports suggested that Milan had rejected a €35 million offer from Galatasaray.
According to Milan, they will only sell Leao outright this summer, refusing to consider loan options or fees below €50 million to €60 million. This is still a significant reduction considering the Portugal international’s contract includes a €175 million release clause.

Report: Galatasaray preparing new offers for Milan and Leao
Leao had made it clear at the end of the 2025-26 season that he felt this might be the right time to move on from Milan after seven seasons and try a new experience elsewhere, ideally in LaLia or the Premier League.

There have been reports that Leao’s representatives have been offering him around to several high-profile clubs across Europe, but as things stand, there have been no formal offers from Spain or England.
There has been interest from Turkey, namely from Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, with reports last week claiming that Milan had turned down an offer worth €35m from Gala.
Milan’s stance is that they will only sell Leao outright this summer, not on loan with an option or obligation to buy, and that they will not sell for a fee below the €50m-€60m range. This is still a significant drop in valuation, given that the Portugal international has a €175m release clause in his contract.
