Journalist: Leao tells AC Milan he will only join Galatasaray if he leaves

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, AC Milan forward Rafael Leao has informed the club that if he leaves, he will only consider a transfer to Turkish side Galatasaray, rejecting all other offers. Leao's camp has already turned down two formal bids from undisclosed clubs. His future now has two possibilities: stay at Milan until his contract expires, or move to Galatasaray in the current transfer window. This stance puts Milan in a difficult position, as they risk losing Leao for free if he stays, while Galatasaray's offer has not yet met Milan's valuation. The coming days will be crucial for negotiations between the two clubs to find a middle ground on the transfer fee.
