Galatasaray has accelerated its efforts to bring a world-class star to its attacking line following the moves for Lesley Ugochukwu and Aleksey Batrakov. It has been claimed that the yellow-reds have made significant progress in talks for Milan's Portuguese star Rafael Leao, who has been on their agenda for some time.
AGREEMENT REACHED WITH LEAO
According to information reported by Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, Galatasaray has reached an agreement with 27-year-old Rafael Leao on personal terms. It was claimed that the yellow-reds have shaken hands with the Portuguese footballer on an annual salary of 12 million euros.
ATTENTION TURNS TO MILAN
Having secured an agreement on the Leao front, the most significant obstacle ahead of Galatasaray is the transfer fee negotiation with Milan. It was stated that the yellow-red administration aims to complete the transfer with a total package of 50 million euros, consisting of a 40 million euro transfer fee and a 10 million euro bonus. Talks between the clubs are reported to be ongoing.
