# Wolves: Fans react to Rafael Leao report

**‘There is some discussion’ between Wolverhampton Wanderers and AC Milan over the potential transfer of Rafael Leao, according to Gazzetta dello Sport (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/discussion-wolverhampton-holding-talks-young-forward-club-willing-let-go/)).**

Milan are expected to sell one, but not both, of Leao and 21-year-old winger Jens Petter Hauge.

Hauge has been subject of €10million offers from Germany, but Milan are thought to be demanding €15million.

### The lowdown on Wolves target Leao

Leao started [22 Serie A matches](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/349207/Show/Rafael-Le%C3%A3o) last season for Stefano Pioli’s side, who finished second in Serie A.

He was [directly involved](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/349207/Show/Rafael-Le%C3%A3o) in 12 goals – six goals, six assists – and earned a place in Portugal’s squad for the Under-21 European Championships.

The 21-year-old [started one match](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/349207/Show/Rafael-Le%C3%A3o) and made two appearances off the bench for the eventual runners-up.

Wolves have already added an attacker to their ranks this summer, signing Leao’s compatriot Francisco Trincao from FC Barcelona on a season-long loan.

Fan feed [Talking Wolves](https://twitter.com/TalkingWolves/status/1417054304096165889) relayed Gazzetta’s claim, and here’s what supporters made of it.
