Tottenham Hotspur It appears they are halting their attempt to sign Rafa Leao from AC Milan, despite him being available on loan.
Milan News Relay Information Today from journalist Claudio Raimondi. He is speaking on Sport Mediaset's Italia Uno regarding the Portuguese forward.
loan with liability
He told that while the issues related to the future of Rafa Leo remain in the headlines. This is especially the case now that they have finished their World Cup campaign with Portugal, with no movement yet.
However he can now focus solely on his future, and has reportedly been offered a loan to Roma with an obligation to buy, but there has been no movement. Nor has any offer come from the Premier League.
It remains Leo's favorite destination this summer. Barcelona are also in the background but have not progressed further with inquiries at this point. After all they have already signed Anthony Gordon as their new left wing back this summer.
tottenham interest
Sport Witness has covered Tottenham's potential interest in the 27-year-old over the past few weeks. A report last week said How super-agent Jorge Mendes was trying to bring the winger to Tottenham this summer and how a loan with an obligation was possible.
The offer appears to be closely linked to Mateus Fernandes' move to join Spurs this summer. Mendes also represents them and it appears they are using the situation to their winger's advantage as well.
However, it seems that Tottenham are yet to suffer a defeat. Whether this is because they are now applying the brakes somewhat after their recent spending or they are not as keen on LEO remains to be seen.
The likelihood is that Tottenham want to focus on a potential sale and balancing the books to some extent at this point. This will also be the case if Leao is being offered a loan by Mendes and AC Milan, who both look keen to get a deal over the line.
