Rafael Leão: Galatasaray linked with €65m move for AC Milan winger

Galatasaray are being linked with a move for AC Milan’s Portugal‑Angola winger Rafael Leão, with the transfer currently rated at a 45% probability.

The 26-year-old, valued at €65.00m on Transfermarkt, is the subject of fresh speculation over his future, with reports in Türkiye suggesting the Istanbul club are exploring the possibility of prising him away from Serie A. The rumours centre on a switch from Milan to the Süper Lig champions, although there is no confirmation of an agreed fee or personal terms.

Leão’s contractual situation at San Siro has not been disclosed in the latest data, meaning it is unclear how long he has left on his deal or whether he could run it down and leave as a free agent in a future window. That uncertainty has fuelled talk that Galatasaray may try to position themselves early should his contract approach expiry.

Born on 10 June 1999 in Almada, the 1.88m forward operates primarily as an attacking left winger and is predominantly right-footed. He wears the number 10 shirt for AC Milan and has become one of the club’s most high-profile players in Serie A. The dual national, listed with both Portugal and Angola among his nationalities, has built his reputation on pace, direct dribbling and productivity from wide areas.

In his most recent outings for Milan in the 2025‑26 campaign, Leão has continued to feature regularly in the attacking line, including a late-season Serie A fixture in which he started on the left, helping his side to a positive result with his trademark ball-carrying and chance creation, even though he did not get on the scoresheet. Such performances underpin his status as one of the most valuable wide forwards in Europe.

With the rumour currently placed at 45%, any move remains at the speculative stage, but if a transfer to Istanbul were to materialise, it could mark a major turning point in Leão’s career, shifting him from the pressures of San Siro to a new role as a marquee signing in the Süper Lig.
