Rafael Leao, a Milan striker, reportedly has a €150m release clause in his contract which Paris Saint-Germain are ready to trigger. The significant release clause in Rafael Leao's contract at Milan is not expected to deter Paris Saint-Germain's interest.

Leao, 23, has established himself as one of the best attacking players in Serie A after joining for €35 million in 2019. He scored a career-high 14 goals across all club competitions in 2021-2022, and then he has had a great start the current season.

Will this contract issue really happen?

Rafael Leão's market value has tended to increase since Milan signed him from Lille a few seasons ago. Rafael Leão is known as a prolific striker in Milan due to his good goal stats which makes him the first high priced player in the current Milan squad by reference.

I'm not sure if PSG really want to get him at such a high price, but it's possible given PSG have a lot of funds. I would prefer PSG to extend the contracts of some of its players than activate Rafael Leão's release clause, but I don't know.

Rafael Leao is growing very rapidly with AC Milan, since being brought in from Lille, Leao has developed into a great forward. Not only productive
in scoring goals, but Rafael Leao also provided many assists to his colleagues at AC Milan. Therefore PSG are reportedly interested in signing Leao
in the January transfer market, especially since Messi and Neymar are likely to move next season. This means that PSG must prepare forward
players who can help Mbappe on the front lines, it looks like the 23-year-old Leao will fit in with Mbappe.

The problem is that PSG must pay a very high cost if they want to bring in Leao from AC Milan, because AC Milan was never interested in selling
Rafael Leao, meaning the only way to get Leao is by activating his €150 million release clause. Which I doubt PSG will do it, because since
Luis Campos became PSG's sporting director, it seems PSG are wiser in buying players. This means that PSG will likely not spend too much money
to buy players, moreover signing Leao is not something that is urgent for PSG.
