Although the 26-year-old Leao has spent the last seven seasons at San Siro and expressed a clear desire to seek a new challenge this summer, he may ultimately remain with Milan for the 2026-27 campaign. As the summer transfer window approaches its final month, the club has struggled to secure a buyer capable of meeting both their financial requirements and the player's personal demands.
The Rossoneri have maintained a firm stance that they will only consider an outright sale, setting a minimum valuation of €50 million, with initial requests starting at the €60 million mark. While Milan continues to prioritize a sale, various reports suggest that failing to find a viable solution is becoming a realistic possibility. According to Milannews.it, while an exit remains the preferred outcome, the prospect of the player staying at the club is one that cannot be ruled out. Calciomercato also acknowledges that while the club is still actively working to sell, a stay is becoming increasingly plausible.
Furthermore, TMW notes that the presence of Ruben Amorim in the Milan dugout could serve as a significant factor should Leao decide to remain at San Siro for another season. Despite the ongoing uncertainty, the club remains committed to their financial targets as the window draws to a close.
