However, barring a low-ball \u20ac30m offer from Galatasaray, the Rossoneri haven\u2019t received a notable proposal, prompting them to lower their demands. They\u2019re now expect to be open to offers around \u20ac40\u201345 million.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Ezoic - wp_under_first_paragraph - under_first_paragraph --><!-- End Ezoic - wp_under_first_paragraph - under_first_paragraph --><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make matters worse, Le\u00e3o has recently picked up a muscle injury and will sit out Milan\u2019s next and final pre-season game against Manchester United, with his availability for their Serie A opener against Torino also in doubt.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Desperate times, desperate measures<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things are clearly not going the way Milan would have hoped, and Le\u00e3o\u2019s muscle injury has only made matters worse. Had Galatasaray waited a few days, their offer might have actually stood a chance to get Milan\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the <em>Rossoneri<\/em> are making it clear in no uncertain terms that they want Le\u00e3o gone. Interestingly, the lowering of his asking price could increase his chances of landing in the Premier League, given clubs would be more open to take him on if the risk factor drops considerably, similarly to what Liverpool did with Federico Chiesa.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Ezoic - wp_under_second_paragraph - under_second_paragraph --><!-- End Ezoic - wp_under_second_paragraph - under_second_paragraph --><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if his injury turns out to be a bit serious, then both Le\u00e3o and Milan may have to wait until at least January to part ways. And given the way things have started for Amorim, both the club and the player may find themselves in a vastly different predicament by that time.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anshuman Joshi | GIFN<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getfootballnewsitaly.com\/2026\/milan-set-to-lower-rafael-leaos-place-as-amorim-approves-transfer\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 As reported by Sky Sport, via Calciomercato, Milan are open to lower their asking price for Rafael Le\u00e3o.
