After a long search for a new club, Rafael Leão has reached an agreement with the Turkish giant.

It has been announced that Leão is transferring from AC Milan to Istanbul's Galatasaray.

Including bonuses, the transfer amount is 45 million euros. AC Milan also retains a percentage of any future sale of Leão.

The curve of the former Serie A star has declined in recent seasons. Last season, the player scored only 9 goals and provided 3 assists.

The new coach of the Milan team, Rubén Amorim, did not see this forward in his plans, so he had to sell him.
