Galatasaray started negotiations for the transfer of Milan winger Rafael Leau, but the first proposal of the Turkish club did not influence the Italian side.

According to the information of Gianluca Di Marzio, the champion of Turecchini has requested to formalize the loan of the 27-year-old Portuguese with the right to further purchase. Currently, Milan’s administration is exclusively committed to a full-time transfer and does not consider the option of a time-based transition.

It turns out that 29 years old Leau will join the team just before the pre-season tour with Australia. Just earlier, the footballer had already made it clear that he did not plan to be lost from the warehouse of the Milanese club.

It is also reported that Fenerbahce no longer lays claim to the Portuguese. The Turkish club has officially released information about its readiness to spend 100 million euros on a transfer and the player’s salary.

Leau's contract with Milan runs until the summer of 2028, and the Transfermarkt portal estimates his value at 50 million euros.

In the 2025/26 season, the Portuguese played 31 matches, scoring 10 goals and providing 3 assists.
