Leao's contract at the San Siro expires in 2024 and it is expected that the Portuguese will not be signing a new deal with Milan. The Rossoneri may therefore consider bids at the end of the season for the young attacker, who has impressed since joining the club from LOSC Lille in 2019 for £26.25 million. He has made 124 appearances, scoring 31 goals and contributing 28 assists.

The Blues are said to be at the front of the queue and there were rumors of a potential move for the Portuguese to Stamford Bridge this past summer. The player's agent Jorge Mendes reportedly looked to move Leao to Chelsea so that Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo could arrive at the San Siro. However, Spurs are currently ahead of Graham Potter's side in the league as they sit in third whilst Chelsea are fifth. The lure of playing under renowned Italian manager Antonio Conte for Spurs may pay dividends. Leao has managed four goals and seven assists in nine appearances in all competitions so far this season.
