The 27-year-old forward has attracted interest from Turkish rivals Galatasaray and Fenerbahce during the ongoing transfer window, with both clubs exploring ways to secure his services.

Galatasaray initially considered a loan deal for Leao, but AC Milan’s preference for a permanent transfer created complications in negotiations.

According to reports from Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, Leao has turned down interest from Fenerbahce while remaining open to a potential move to Galatasaray.

The move would reunite the winger with Osimhen, who has become a key figure at the Istanbul club following his arrival.

Leao has reportedly informed AC Milan of his desire to leave the club in search of a fresh opportunity after several seasons at San Siro.

The Portuguese attacker was also offered to Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, although discussions did not lead to an agreement.

A move to Galatasaray would represent another major statement signing for the Turkish champions, who have continued to strengthen their squad with high-profile international players.

However, negotiations remain dependent on AC Milan’s valuation and the structure of any potential deal, with the Italian club favouring a permanent sale rather than a temporary arrangement.
