Rafael Leao’s release clause at Milan expires today

Milan’s Rafael Leao will not be available at a

predetermined price following tonight.

at €175 million in the previous contract renewal,

is slated to expire today at midnight, according to

a report published by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

If any interested clubs wish to hire the

Portuguese player, they will need to speak with

and negotiate directly with the Rossoneri

management. Although the 25-year-old’s time

with Portugal in the Euros was not particularly

memorable, he has consistently performed

better for Milan since joining the team.

Al-Hilal had previously contacted through

middlemen, but no offer had been made. Many

teams could use someone with Leao’s profile in

their lineups, but it will be extremely difficult for

them to make a trade happen even once the

release clause has expired. In an attempt to work

with the player for the upcoming season, the

player’s new manager Paulo Fonseca traveled to

Portugal to speak with him after the conclusion

of the previous campaign.
