Milan inks five year deal with Portuguese forward Rafael Leao

Milan signed a multi-year deal Thursday with Portuguese forward Rafael Leao from the French club Lille.

"AC Milan (the Club) is delighted to announce that the Club has reached an agreement with LOSC Lille for the acquisition of Portuguese forward Rafael Alexandre da Conceicao Leao,” the Serie A giant said in a statement on its website.

“The 20-year old attacker joins the Rossoneri on a five-year deal."

Leao made his debut in the Primeira Liga with the Portuguese powerhouse Sporting Lisbon in February 2018.

He joined Ligue 1 team Lille on a free transfer at the beginning of the 2018-2019 season and had eight goals in 26 games for the French club.
