Milan prepares a blockbuster transfer! The Italians set their sights on Chelsea star, but face tough competition
Chelsea is planning a major summer clear-out.
Details: Milan continues to work actively on strengthening their squad and is considering Chelsea winger Pedro Neto as one of the main candidates to replace Rafael Leão, should the Portuguese star leave the club this summer.
According to The Sun, Manchester City and Saudi club Al Hilal are also interested in Neto. However, it's the English champions who are seen as the frontrunners to sign the 25-year-old forward.
Reports suggest that Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso is not keen on letting Neto go, but the London club may be forced to consider his sale. The Blues value the Portuguese winger at around £70 million, and a potential transfer could help the club meet financial fair play regulations.
In the coming weeks, the battle for Pedro Neto could become one of the most intriguing stories of the transfer window. If Milan does end up losing Leão, the Chelsea player may become the top candidate to bolster the Rossoneri's attacking line.
