Leao is increasingly close to saying goodbye to the Rossoneri: the English club is serious, Rafa is open to the move.

The last days of the transfer window could finally bring a decisive turn in the future of Rafael Leão. The Portuguese striker's situation has long remained in balance, between the possibility of staying at Milan and the desire to find a new experience away from Italy. Now, however, the scenario seems to have become much more concrete.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Aston Villa is being serious about the Rossoneri number 10. Contacts between the two clubs are already underway and the aim is to reach an agreement on the player's transfer fee.

The most important news concerns Leão's own position: the Portuguese has apparently opened up to the English destination, making a deal that until recently seemed only a speculation much more feasible.

Has Leão Chosen the Premier? Now It's Milan's Turn

The possible transfer to Aston Villa would represent a particularly interesting solution for all parties. The player could finally test himself in the Premier League, a competition he has expressed interest in, while Milan would have the chance to turn a complicated situation into a financially significant operation.

It is not a minor detail. Leão's future has been accompanied by months of rumors and differing assessments. The same Gianluca Di Marzio had previously explained that Milan valued the Portuguese between 60 and 70 million euros in case of a sale.

Today, however, the matter seems to have entered a different phase. It is no longer just about interest, but about direct contacts between Milan and Aston Villa and a shared willingness to understand whether conditions exist to close the deal.

The Key Remains the Transfer Fee

And it is precisely here that the decisive match could be played. Aston Villa must reach an agreement with Milan, while the Rossoneri will have to assess whether the English offer will be sufficient to let go of one of the most talented players in the squad.

For Leão, however, the openness to the destination can represent the crucial step to accelerate the operation. After weeks of uncertainty, his future could finally be close to a turning point.

The countdown has begun. And this time, Leão's departure from Milan really seems possible.
