Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano and prominent journalist Matteo Moretto recorded a video together and provided the latest updates on Milan.

Here is what they said about Milan:

Romano: "Let's start with the latest on Rafael Leão, the most important topic in the Italian transfer market today. The rumors between Leão and Galatasaray – as you've shared with us in your video yesterday, your video today, and your previous videos – show that Galatasaray has recently stepped up the accelerator and launched a very strong offensive. In fact, they've never given up once in all these months, because this is an old story."

"When the transfer market first opened and before Leão said goodbye to Milan, Galatasaray was already trying. Later, Fenerbahçe also got involved at the end of June but failed. However, Galatasaray never gave up and stayed in the race. Perhaps over the last four or five days the media somewhat underestimated Galatasaray's efforts, but we've always emphasized that Galatasaray continues to push relentlessly. So what's happening now?"

Moreto: "Yes, exactly. Since last night, Galatasaray has verbally promised Milan an improved new written official offer for Rafael Leão. Now, after negotiations all day from Milan's end, intermediary Giorgio Gardi is on the ground. He is effectively Galatasaray's plenipotentiary in this deal."

"Currently, the Rossoneri management and Giorgio Gardi are working through face-to-face negotiations to put this proposal, valued at approximately 45 million euros, into writing. There is excellent understanding between the clubs, both teams are very close to an agreement, and all parties have strong will to reach a final and complete agreement."

"I can also tell you that a basic verbal agreement on salary has already been reached between Galatasaray and Leão. I don't want to say months, but negotiations between Galatasaray and Leão have actually been going on for several weeks. On the salary level, Galatasaray is very clear about what kind of salary Leão can accept. If I remember correctly, this salary exceeds 10 million euros net and is close to 12 million euros."

"Therefore, we can say there is a line connecting and integrating the interests of all parties at this point. Currently, the remaining details of Leão's contract still need to be specifically defined. That is, beyond the salary, all other terms must be specified in the official contract. The player's side has already agreed on some points, and the final contract should be finalized within the next few hours."

Romano: "One thing I want to say is that the final stage of this deal – as you said, because the clubs are nearly ready, the focus is now shifting to the player – reminds us of situations like Osimhen before. Everyone will remember the tug-of-war surrounding Osimhen's transfer about two years ago between Napoli, Galatasaray, and the player. The player was persuaded at first, then hesitated, one moment wanted to go, the next didn't."

"Now we seem to be in a somewhat similar situation. For Galatasaray, it's really difficult to sign a player of this caliber when transfer funds are tight. Yes, the numbers work for the club. The numbers work for Leão too."

"But we need final confirmation, which requires a decision that transcends the numbers and the contract itself. All parties involved in this deal right now – whether Galatasaray, his entourage, or the player himself – are waiting for Rafael Leão's final sign-off at this moment. We're waiting for him to clearly say: 'Okay, I'm going to Galatasaray, I've decided, goodbye Milan.'' This stage of completely letting go still needs to happen. So we're still waiting. This could happen anytime. Maybe tonight, late tonight, or tomorrow."

"But it's clear that Galatasaray continues to push forward, moving up, and increasing their efforts. In these kinds of contracts, especially when dealing with a club like Galatasaray, there are many detailed issues that need to be properly resolved, such as image rights. Additionally, the contract might include future buyout clauses and other provisions. In short, there are many details to work out. So while the salary has been agreed, all other terms of the contract remain to be finalized."

"Therefore, I must say that to this day, Galatasaray is the club that has advanced the furthest. We mentioned Aston Villa before, but that was merely exploration and information gathering, trying to understand the rough figures of this potential deal. Recently, Galatasaray has shown the strongest action among all interested clubs."
