According to Skysports, the Attacker may have already decided his next step despite Milan offer for a contract renewal.
Leao has pended talks for a renewal with AC Milan as he is more interested in a trip to West London following transfer interest from Chelsea.
Fears are already growing behind the scenes at Milan that the 23-year-old could turn the offer in an attempt to force his move.
The figures would definitely be high should Milan have to let him leave which could place a stumbling block as Chelsea also have several other names they wish to land from a supposed tight budget.
Currently valued at €80M by the CIES, Chelsea believe Leao will play a key role in waking their attacking line as they hunt for more goals continue at Stamford Bridge.
According to Skysports, Leao’s people have been in contact with Chelsea since October as they prefer him playing in England after a careful discussion with the player.
Rafael Leao has scored 5 times for Milan across 14 games this season.
