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.
