Wait 5 sec.

Rafael Leao’s chances of sealing a move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer appear to be diminishing by the day.Tottenham have held discussions with Milan over Rafael Leao, who is expected to leave the San Siro after entering the final two years of his deal.The 27-year-old is thought to be keen on joining the Lilywhites, but the Premier League side have not substantiated their interest in the player.Earlier this week, it emerged that Leao was refusing to give the green light to join Galatasaray, as he was waiting to see if the Lilywhites potentially make a concrete move.Photo by Rico Brouwer/Soccrates/Getty ImagesTottenham target Rafael Leao’s switch to Galatasaray is ‘finally moving’Calciomercato says that ‘things are finally moving’ over Leao’s future as Galatasaray continue to court the winger.The outlet claims that the Milan star has now asked for time to consider the Turkish club’s offer, which he is not fully convinced by.However, it is revealed that Leao is more open to a switch to Galatasaray than he was when the Istanbul club first registered their interest in him a week and a half ago.This is because his Premier League suitors have not yet made a move for him. Even though both Tottenham and Aston Villa enquired about the terms of the deal, neither club have submitted a proposal, with both clubs focusing on other targets instead.AC Milan are refusing to reduce Leao priceCalciomercato says that while Leao’s next destination remains unclear, there is certainly no chance of him reviving his career at the San Siro. The two parties both want to part ways this summer and are actively working to make a transfer happen.For now, the Rossoneri are playing a waiting game, but they are refusing to drop their €60m (£51.1m) asking price on the player.The website adds that the Serie A club are also open to loaning out Leao as long as the deal involves ‘easily met conditions’ that trigger an obligation to buy.READ MORE: Middlesbrough want to sign second Tottenham player after £20m Will LankshearThe post Tottenham may force Rafael Leao into transfer U-turn as AC Milan hold firm on £51m price appeared first on Spurs Web.
