The future of Rafael Leao could still be at Milan. Despite the farewell words of the Portuguese forward, eager to move to the Premier League or La Liga, the new Rossoneri coach Ruben Amorim is reportedly thinking of keeping the number ten. A choice that, however, could also be motivated by the difficulty in finding a buyer. In recent hours, in fact, the Devil has rejected Fenerbahce’s offer for Leao, on loan with a purchase option: the Rossoneri would only consider a permanent transfer. It remains to be seen if anything will change in the coming hours. Meanwhile, Porto is asking for information about Santiago Gimenez, considered outside Amorim’s project and also scouted by Lazio, while Musah – another surplus – has been proposed to Besiktas.
The negotiation between Inter and Tottenham for Romero is at a critical moment. The Nerazzurri can count on the agreement with the Spurs, around 40 million euros, and on the player’s approval, who would accept a salary similar to what he earns in London, 6 million including bonuses. To close the deal, however, the final OK from Oaktree is missing. Also because, before proceeding, Inter would like to make an exit, perhaps that of Pavard. The timing, however, is important, especially for two reasons: there are several foreign clubs interested in Romero and Tottenham would not want to sell the Argentine defender at the end of the market.
