Although the negotiations are still in their early stages, Leão is considered an attractive target for the Blues’ management, which is looking for a significant offensive reinforcement to bring the team back into contention.
The 25-year-old Portuguese player boasts an impressive record, having won the Italian league and the Super Cup with Milan, and is seen as a signing capable of making a difference.
Leão is not the only name on Chelsea’s table, as reports indicate that the club is also monitoring young English winger Jamie Gittens, a player for Borussia Dortmund, who is regarded as one of the rising talents in Europe.
This interest comes at a time when Chelsea’s management is aiming to balance the project between young talents and experienced elements, in order to build a team capable of winning titles in the near future.
