AC Milan are close to signing Lille striker Rafael Leao as a replacement for Wolverhampton Wanderers-bound Patrick Cutrone, according to reports.
The Rossoneri wasted no time in making a move for a new striker with Leao expected to fly in tomorrow for a medical.
As reported by Calciomercato, Milan have made a bid in the region of €30 million and are hoping to secure the 20-year-old’s signature as soon as possible.
Leao joined Lille last summer on a free transfer after he, along with many others, terminated his contract with Sporting Clube following an incident where fans attacked playing staff and coaches during a training session.
In his one and only season with the club, Leao scored eight goals and registered two assists in 24 league appearances.
