Gerry Cardinale, owner of AC Milan, will hold discussions with Rafael Leao at Milanello on August 21. This meeting comes just before Milan's season debut against Torino and will address Leao's future amid speculation of a move to Galatasaray, who have offered around €40 million. Milan is reportedly open to selling Leao for approximately €50 million, and the meetings will also cover potential new signings before the transfer window closes on September 1. Leao's current contract lasts until June 2028, but his role under new head coach Ruben Amorim remains uncertain.
