Fenerbahçe SK submits €50M bid for Milan's Rafa Leão Fenerbahçe SK has made a serious move for Serie A side Milan's Portuguese forward Rafa Leão. The Yellow-Blues are reportedly looking to sign the player on a permanent deal and have offered a comprehensive five-year contract.
What are the offer details? According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Fenerbahçe has proposed an annual net salary of €8 million plus performance-based bonuses for Leão. The player could earn an additional €1.5 million for appearing in more than 20 matches, €1.5 million for scoring 15 goals, and €1 million if Fenerbahçe wins the Süper Lig title.
What does Milan want? Fenerbahçe is not considering a loan offer and is aiming for a direct transfer. Milan is reportedly asking for around €40 million for Leão, with the total fee potentially reaching €50 million including bonuses. The process is being managed by Jorge Mendes, who is not Leão's agent but is acting as an intermediary. Fenerbahçe is expected to submit an official offer to Milan soon.
Leão's career and market value Capable of playing as a left winger, striker, or attacking midfielder, Rafa Leão has scored 80 goals and provided 65 assists in 291 appearances for Milan. The Portuguese international has also netted six goals in 49 matches for his national team. Joining Milan from Lille in the summer of 2019 for a €49.5 million transfer fee, Leão's current market value is estimated at €50 million.
Fenerbahçe SK's current standing Fenerbahçe SK finished the 2025 Süper Lig season in second place with 74 points, securing 21 wins, 11 draws, and 2 losses. The team scored 77 goals and conceded 37, finishing 3 points behind champions Galatasaray.
