Recently, Chelsea has been looking to add a few new forwards, and Emmanuel Petit has urged Todd Boehly to finalize a deal.
Given the unclear futures of Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech, former Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has urged Todd Boehly to finalize the signing of Rafael Leao. As the Blues sought to strengthen their front-three in the summer, the 23-year-old AC Milan star was extensively connected with a transfer to Stamford Bridge.
Although a trade fell through, Chelsea is reportedly keeping an eye on the winger's status at the San Siro after he just began contract negotiations with the Rossoneri. In response to increased interest in the player, Milan have intensified their efforts to keep the Portugal international, and the west Londoners are rumored to be eager to test the club's resolve.
Boehly was ready to speak with Milan's top brass in the first week of October to explore a potential transfer for Leao, according to Calciomercato. Since then, Petit has urged Chelsea to finalize a deal for the £70 million star, insisting the forward would be a terrific addition and fit in the Premier League.
Rafael Leao once played for Lille, Petit revealed in a statement to Genting Casino. Like Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, he didn't play for long before being traded to Milan.
He is physical, swift, strong, and tall. Along with anger and ambition, he has a great goal-scoring ability. He'd be a wise acquisition. If an English team can afford to purchase him, they should do it since he will score a lot of goals and immediately fit in with the league.
The ambiguity surrounding Christian Pulisic's future at Chelsea was further explored by Petit.The former Blues midfielder detailed what the American international must do to establish himself under Graham Potter, failing which he runs the risk of leaving, leaving a vacuum that Leao might eventually fill.
I read on social media what Pulisic's father said, according to Petit: "He should show more respect and obtain more playing time, etc." "However, you play for Chelsea, like I mentioned with Mason Mount, and there is a lot of competitiveness.
"View the changing area. How many top players from around the world are there? He needs to demonstrate his abilities when he enters the game, which he did against Wolves. He won't likely be in the starting lineup for the match against Milan, but if he contributes when he plays, he'll gradually receive more playing time.
