AC Milan Eyes Phil Foden Amid Transfer Speculation; Leão Sale Key

AC Milan is reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Manchester City's highly-rated midfielder, Phil Foden. Italian outlet Sportmediaset reported that Foden's representatives have reached out to several clubs, including AC Milan, to gauge interest in a potential move. While AC Milan has not yet submitted a formal offer to Manchester City, the estimated transfer fee for Foden is between 50 million and 60 million euros (approximately 85 billion to 102 billion Korean Won).

Foden's future at Manchester City has been the subject of intense speculation recently. His exclusion from the England World Cup squad has fueled rumors of a potential departure from the Premier League club. This situation has apparently alerted several European clubs, with AC Milan emerging as a prominent suitor.

However, any potential transfer of Foden to AC Milan appears to be contingent on the club's ability to offload another key player, Rafael Leão. This suggests a strategic reshuffling of the squad, where the sale of Leão would likely fund the acquisition of Foden. The Italian club is reportedly waiting for Leão's potential sale before making a concrete move for the English international.
