‘Bring Him Home Please’ ‘I Don’t See The Hype’ Fans React As City Consider Hijacking Chelsea’s Move For Portuguese Speed Merchant

Manchester City are considering whether to make an offer for AC Milan star Rafael Leao this summer, according to reports in the Spanish media.

The pacey Portuguese winger is closing in on the final twelve months of his contract at the San Siro and he has been heavily linked with Chelsea.

However, there is now a chance that City (who do have a longstanding interest in the player) may make a move of their own at the end of the season. Supporters on Twitter are very much split on whether that is a good idea:


Since the departures of Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus, City have lacked pace out wide and Leao’s speed and acceleration would make him an ideal addition to fill the void.

However, the 23-year-old’s situation is complicated. After losing a legal battle with former club Sporting Lisbon, he owes them the best part of โ‚ฌ20m. He would reportedly like Milan or a prospective bidder to pay that off for him as part of a lucrative new contract. Whether City would agree to such a request, though, we shall have to wait and see.
