Chelsea transfer target and AC Milan striker Rafael Leao is set to sign a new long-term deal at the Italian club.
Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed to CaughtOffside via his Substack column that Chelsea were interested in signing Rafael Leao before the transfer window slammed shut.
A move failed to materialise, with Milan demanding that any interested club pay the astronomical release clause to remove him from the Italian club.
Now, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, Leao is set to sign a new long-term contract that will keep him at the club until 2027.

With his release clause currently set at €150m, according to Romano, it will be interesting to see if Milan and Leao agree to increase it to avoid interest from other clubs.
Milan will be absolutely delighted to have kept Leao this season, especially after the impact he had in their most recent game.
The Portuguese international scored twice against bitter rivals Inter Milan to help secure a 3-2 win, with the two clubs set to battle for the Serie A title this season.
