Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto recorded a video together to share several updates about Milan.

Here is the Milan-related content from the video:

Romano: "At the same time, we'll look at Rafael Leão's final destination together with Matteo. This sensational 'transfer puzzle' that I just mentioned has captured the attention of not only AC Milan fans and Aston Villa fans, but also Galatasaray fans. Galatasaray fans are incredibly excited, almost fanatically so, trying to figure out if Leão will actually go to Turkey. So what's the latest news and developments you have on this Leão saga?"

Moreto: "Yes, Fabri, I need to emphasize that at this particular moment, Aston Villa is actually in a very clear leading position in this competition. The main reason Villa is in front is that the operational structure and model of this deal is undergoing fundamental changes. To be honest, this would have been a financially complex and expensive deal for Aston Villa. Galatasaray's previous personal salary offer to Leão was several steps higher than Villa's. Galatasaray offered up to €12 million net per year, which included a structured bonus of €10 million base salary plus €2 million in variable bonuses, whereas Aston Villa's salary negotiation ceiling previously remained around €7-8 million."

"However, there has been an important turning point in the last few hours. After multiple direct phone calls and video conferences between Aston Villa manager Unai Emery and Leão himself, Leão has gradually come to understand and accept reality. He understands that Aston Villa is constrained by financial regulations and cannot offer higher wages, and he has fully seen the insurmountable financial gap between the two clubs. Nevertheless, he has made his true intentions clear to Aston Villa's senior management and his agent team: his absolute first choice is to play in the Premier League."

"Therefore, as of today, Aston Villa's advantageous position is not solely because of the Premier League's appeal. Of course, the player's personal desire to join is an important and decisive factor in any transfer, but his current preference has shifted significantly toward Aston Villa. Another key reason is that Aston Villa is currently trying to find a breakthrough through superagent Jorge Mendes, with the aim of meeting Milan's requirements as much as possible in terms of deal structure."

"Milan's stance has always been very clear and firm—they will only accept a permanent transfer as a buyout. Not only could Galatasaray meet this condition, but they were willing to make a massive offer including a fixed transfer fee of €45 million plus variable bonuses to satisfy Milan. In contrast, Aston Villa's previous offer was a loan with optional or conditional mandatory buyouts. However, Villa is now urgently adjusting their proposal structure and working to shift to a permanent transfer model. Therefore, everyone should pay attention today: Aston Villa is actually already in the lead."

Romano: "Moreover, I want to specifically emphasize the very intensive direct communication between Emery and Leão that you just mentioned. Even today, they've had more than one phone call. Emery personally stepped in to persuade him, the way he typically does with players who need to regain confidence."

"When I first mentioned Villa's interest in Leão in my previous video, I noted that Unai Emery is a world-class expert in 'psychological recovery and reactivation.' He successfully rescued and revitalized Jadon Sancho in the past, mentored Marcus Rashford, and now wants to achieve the same effect with many other players like Alejandro Garnacho. In other words, he helps young players who may face bottlenecks or difficulties in their tactical system or personal careers to break through the fog and return to world-class levels."

"Therefore, based on reliable information I've received so far, this is one of the points Emery emphasized in his conversation with Leão. In the phone call, Emery was very direct in pointing out that Leão's performance over the past two years does not reflect his true self as someone with unlimited talent, and Emery promised to do everything to help him rediscover himself. As I just mentioned with examples, Emery is very confident, and now we'll wait to see what decision the player himself ultimately makes."
