Fenerbahçe push ahead in Leão race
After securing the player's approval in principle, Fenerbahçe are now shifting their focus to striking a deal with AC Milan. While no transfer fee has been agreed, the Turkish club are optimistic that formal talks can produce a breakthrough as they look to complete one of the biggest signings in Süper Lig history.
Leão remains under a long-term contract at Milan, meaning the Italian club are expected to demand a significant fee before considering his departure. Nevertheless, Fenerbahçe believe their financial package and ambitious project give them a realistic chance of completing the transfer.
Milan face decision over star winger
Leão enjoyed another productive 2025/26 season, making 49 appearances in all competitions for AC Milan. The Portuguese winger scored 16 goals and contributed 14 assists, once again establishing himself as one of Serie A's most dangerous attacking players.
With personal terms reportedly already in place, attention now turns to negotiations between the clubs. If Fenerbahçe can convince Milan to sell, the deal would rank among the most high-profile transfers of the summer and represent a major statement of intent ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
