Galatasaray pursues Rafael Leao with Victor Osimhen's involvement

Summary

Galatasaray is intensifying efforts to sign Rafael Leao from AC Milan, taking advantage of Victor Osimhen's connection. Leao has expressed a desire to leave Milan, which is open to a permanent sale for €60 million plus €10 million in add-ons, but not a loan. Despite interest from Fenerbahce and Besiktas, Leao prefers Galatasaray due to the appeal of Champions League football and Osimhen's friendship. Galatasaray previously made a significant salary proposal to Leao and is reportedly in talks to expedite the process. However, Leao is currently in Perth for pre-season training and appears undecided on his future since the managerial change at Milan.
