Man City 'interested' in AC Milan's Rafael Leao and more transfer rumours

Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Portuguese winger Rafael Leao from Serie A giants AC Milan.

According to Sky Sports reporter Gianluca Di Marzio, Pep Guardiola is keen on recruiting the 23-year-old after Leao won the Serie A Player of the Season last term with a number of impressive performances as Milan won the league title ahead of rivals Inter.

It is thought that Premier League rivals Chelsea are also interested in signing Leao, with the Blues reportedly making a late bid for the Milan man in the summer transfer window.

Leao made 42 appearances for Stefano Pioli's side last season, registering 14 goals and 12 assists in all competitions. The talented youngster has made an impressive start to this term, helping himself to seven-goal contributions already.

Elsewhere, journalist Florian Plettenburg is reporting that City 'target' Jude Bellingham will cost around €80-100million this summer, with Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal also said to be interested in the England midfielder.

It is thought that Bellingham is keen on a move back to England, and personal terms are unlikely to be a problem with any of the interested clubs. Although Liverpool and Man United appear to be the favourites to secure his signature, things could change if City express their interest in signing the 19-year-old.

Bellingham, who signed for Borussia Dortmund from Birmingham in 2020, has made 98 appearances for the Bundesliga outfit, registering 12 goals and 18 assists.
