Aston Villa are reportedly in talks with Rafael Leão, who is valued at £38m by his Italian employers. The Premier League club remains hopeful of securing the services of the Portuguese winger on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy. This move would be a significant coup for Villa, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
The development comes after Milan accepted a £38m bid from Galatasaray for Leão. However, it appears that Villa are still in the running for the 25-year-old winger, who has been in talks with the club. The situation is still fluid, with Villa's hopes of securing Leão's services hanging in the balance.
The next step will be to see if Villa can finalise a deal for Leão, either on a permanent basis or on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy.
