“I’m happy about it” – Zlatan reveals if £100M attacker will leave and join Chelsea this summer
Rafael Leao, according to senior AC Milan advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic, will “remain” at the Italian powerhouse despite connections to Chelsea.
With four years remaining on his contract, he finished the Serie A season with nine goals and ten assists. However, there has been much discussion in the media about the possibility that the club board may try to sign him during this transfer window.
However – amid all the speculation and rumours that the likes of CHELSEA are interested in a deal for the attacker, Ibrahimovic insists Rafael Leao will “remain” at the Italian giants – The 42-year-old said at a press conference: “Maignan, Theo and Leao remain.
‘They are the strongest in their roles, they have a contract with us and I’m happy about it. I don’t need domino effects to appear. Thanks to RedBird’s (majority owners of Milan) work we can buy strong players: the club has already brought in 12 players laying the foundation for the future.
‘This is the second year; we have to improve through the details and every day, we have a scouting system all over the world and every day. To close a purchase you need a process. What is important is the right profile.”
