Aston Villa pursues Rafael Leao as Milan seeks summer sale
Summary

Aston Villa is reportedly interested in acquiring Rafael Leao from AC Milan this summer. With Leao open to a move to England, Milan is looking to finalize his situation quickly, demanding around €60 million for his transfer. Villa is motivated to add attacking depth after Morgan Rogers' departure to Chelsea, and discussions have linked Leao's potential transfer to that of Pervis Estupinan. Jorge Mendes is facilitating the search for Leao's new club. Milan is keen to avoid a distressed sale, as other English clubs have not made significant progress in negotiations.
