After finalizing Manchester City ace winger Sterling , the Blues Chelsea also hope to find a world-class forward in the transfer market who can form a connection with Sterling. Because only in this way can Chelsea in the new season not be left behind by the two giants Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League championship.
Recently, Chelsea is chasing Rafinha. However, considering that La Liga giants Barcelona have already taken the initiative in the battle for Rafinha, Chelsea will most likely withdraw from this deal. According to the latest news from " Guardian ", Chelsea coach Tuchel already has another candidate in mind. He is the talented forward star Rafael Leo who is currently playing for AC Milan.
Rafael Leo, Portugal's popular international footballer, was born in June 1999 and has just turned 23 years old this year. Despite his young age, he is already an indispensable main player in AC Milan's forward line. His overall quality is superb and he has almost all the conditions to become a world-class forward. First of all, he is tall and possesses super aerial ability and aerial dominance; secondly, he has outstanding talent, superb footwork, speed, explosive power, and can pass and shoot, so he is omnipotent.
Another thing that is even more valuable is that Rafael Leao is a versatile forward and can play multiple positions as center and winger. Because Rafael Leao's technical characteristics are similar to his compatriot superstar C Ronaldo , he is hailed as the new Portuguese Ronaldo.
According to statistics, in the just-concluded 2021-22 season, Rafael Leo played a total of 42 games for AC Milan, and in these 42 games, he contributed a total of 14 goals and 11 assists to the team, showing It shows his strong dominance in front of the goal and ability to instigate offense. If Chelsea can really buy Rafael Leao this summer, it will undoubtedly find a golden partner for Sterling. Once these two people form telepathy in Chelsea's frontcourt, Chelsea's frontcourt attack power will be greatly guaranteed.
It is reported that Chelsea coach Tuchel admires Rafael Leao very much, and he very much hopes that Chelsea’s senior management can sign the Portuguese striker star for him this summer. However, it is not easy for Tuchel to get Rafael Leao. First of all, AC Milan's price tag is very high, and it is expected to ask for at least 100 million pounds in transfer fees. Secondly, many European giants including Manchester City and Real Madrid are also thinking about Rafael Leao. It is not easy for Chelsea to win in the battle for men. However, even so, I believe Chelsea will not give up this blockbuster deal easily.
