Fenerbahce submits bid for Aston Villa target Rafael Leao

Summary

Fenerbahce has made a substantial bid for AC Milan winger Rafael Leao, who is also a target for Aston Villa. The Turkish club's proposed deal offers Milan an initial €40m, potentially rising to €50m with bonuses. Leao, who has two years remaining on his contract with Milan, struggled last season with 10 goals in 31 appearances. Villa, in need of a winger after Morgan Rogers' record transfer to Chelsea, is reportedly focused on other targets, including Alejandro Garnacho and Nicolas Jackson, but may need to respond quickly to Fenerbahce's approach.
