Chelsea have been handed a big boost in signing AC Milan winger Rafael Leao at the end of the campaign, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Portugal international has been a long-term target for the London giants, and they could eventually land his signature in the next transfer window.
Leao has a mammoth release clause worth £145 million in his contract, but he could be signed for a reduced £66m this summer, according to reports.
This is expected to invite transfer proposals. Chelsea could revive their pursuit as they look to find a reliable figure on the left side of the attack.
The 25-year-old has been a key player for the Rossoneri over the years, but his relationship is not the best with new manager Sergio Conceicao.
This could pave the way for his summer exit. Leao has 17 goal contributions this term and will surely want to end the season on a high before pursuing a new challenge.
