Chelsea awaits negotiation, interested to sign Rafael Leao from AC Milan

Rafael Leao's contract discussions with AC Milan have reportedly stalled, as the Italian champions are not currently prepared to meet the attacker's wage demands. Italian press reports revealed that Chelsea FC is still interested in acquiring the services of Portuguese winger Rafael Leao, an AC Milan player after he tried to include him during the last summer transfer market. According to the Corriere Dello Sport, the capital outfit has now been given encouragement in their pursuit of the attacker, who has seen discussions over a new deal with Milan hit an impasse. The newspaper added that the Blues are monitoring the talks of Rafael Leao's new contract with Milan, as the Portuguese winger wants about 118,000 pounds per week. The young Portuguese winger is one of the key stars in Milan who succeeded in leading the Rossoneri to win the Calcio title last season after an absence of 10 years.
