AC Milan hand Wolves a huge transfer blow
AC Milan have inflicted a transfer blow on Wolverhampton Wanderers after reportedly deciding to keep hold of Rafael Leao.
Although it looked like the Rossoneri wanted to offload the prodigious forward, they have had a change of heart, MilanNews reports.
Just a few hours ahead of Milan’s friendly encounter against Nice, the news of the club’s decision to retain Leao surfaced in the Italian media.
Wolves were interested in the 22-year-old forward, who will spearhead the line for Stefano Pioli’s side at the Allianz Riviera on Saturday evening.
Leao’s representative Jorge Mendes has strong connections with Wolves and was keen on brokering his client’s move to the Premier League.
