Leão is under contract until 2028 with a €175million release clause, which is an unrealistic figure to pay for most clubs.
Should he decide to leave, Milan's initial asking price will be €130m, but after a disappointing season, it's not ruled out that this price could drop.
Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr are ready to offer Leão €25million per year. Other options in Europe include Bayern but they wouldn't match such numbers.

Djokovic dragged into disqualification storm as tennis world erupts over 'shameful' act
Tennis fans are crying foul over an incident involving Lorenzo Musetti at the French Open that has been compared to Novak Djokovic's infamous disqualification at the 2020 US Open. Musetti reached his first semi-final at Roland Garros with a 6-2 4-6 7-5 6-2 win over American Frances Tiafoe, but the victory was overshadowed by drama after he kicked a ball that hit a female line judge in the chest. The Italian took out the opening set but cut a frustrated figure in the second stanza and lashed out by kicking a ball towards the line judge between points. The female official was only standing about three metres away when the ball struck her in the chest, leaving Tiafoe stunned at the other end of the court. The American gestured towards the chair umpire to take action against Musetti, who was eventually issued a code violation over the incident. But many thought the Italian should have been disqualified, with Tiafoe making his feelings clear about the ruling after the match. "I mean, obviously he did that and nothing happened. I think that's comical, but it is what it is," the American said. "Nothing happened, so there's nothing really to talk about. Obviously it's not consistent, so it is what it is." The incident had more than a few similarities to the one at the 2020 US Open that saw Djokovic disqualified after he hit a ball that struck a female line judge in the throat. Unlike Djokovic though, Musetti avoided being defaulted, with angry fans taking to social media to accuse tennis officials of double standards. Djokovic accidentally hits a line judge — defaulted does the same, no action it were Novak, media would erupt, narratives would burn, and he'd be tennis' villain of the double standards aren't just real, they're loud.@DjokerNole #Djokovic — Shane (@Shanegupta22) June 3, 2025 I love Musetti, but if we're enforcing rules the same 4 everyone, this is 100% a default. That said, I don't believe he should be, just like Djokovic SHOULDN'T have in 2020, but he was, & this is a textbook example of a double standard. #RolandGarros — Rodney 🐊 (@RottenKnee23) June 3, 2025 No. And unfortunately as an Italian, as much as I like his tennis I am ashamed. I hope @atptour does something about it. As much as I don't love Djokovic, he got disqualified for something much less intentional — an exploded view (@anexplodedview) June 3, 2025 Perhaps what saved Musetti was the fact the line judge was not injured after being struck by the ball and continued to officiate for the rest of the match. In Djokovic's infamous case though, the official was in clear discomfort after the ball struck her throat and required fairly lengthy medical attention. Even still, the rule around disqualifications is far from clear. Musetti admitted that he feared being defaulted but was quick to apologise for what he described as an unfortunate accident. "Honestly, it was a really unlucky coincidence. I was a little bit, honestly, scared, because I really didn't want to harm (anybody), of course," he said. "So I immediately went to the line umpire, and I of course said, 'Sorry, I apologise to everyone. It was right to have a warning, but I think the umpire saw that there was no intention about that, and that's why probably (he) let me continue." Musetti didn't let the incident derail him as he regrouped from losing the second set to take the next two and extend his French Open record to 13-4. Two of those losses on the Roland Garros clay have come against former champion Novak Djokovic, with one against reigning champ, Carlos Alcaraz, who he meets in the semi-final. Alcaraz powered his way past American 12th seed Tommy Paul in a completely dominant win in their quarter-final. The Spanish World No.2 lost just five games in another one-sided 6-0 6-1 6-4 victory against Paul, who was unable to produce his best tennis with a heavily strapped right thigh. "I'm sorry you wanted to watch more tennis. I had to do my work," Alcaraz told the Court Philippe-Chatrier crowd. with agencies

Lorenzo Musetti avoids French Open disqualification after kicking ball at line judge
Italian eighth seed Lorenzo Musetti was lucky not to be disqualified from the French Open after kicking a ball at a line judge. In the second set of his quarter-final against American Frances Tiafoe, Musetti booted the ball in frustration and it hit the woman, standing about three metres away, in the chest. Advertisement Tiafoe looked stunned at the other end of the court and gestured towards the umpire, who eventually gave Musetti a code violation. There were echoes of Novak Djokovic being defaulted at the 2020 US Open after accidentally hitting a female line judge with a ball. Tiafoe, the 15th seed, said: "I mean, obviously he did that and nothing happened. I think that's comical, but it is what it is. "Nothing happened, so there's nothing really to talk about. Obviously it's not consistent, so it is what it is." Former player-turned broadcaster Rennae Stubbs wrote on X: "Wow Musetti is very lucky to be still on court right now. You cannot kick a ball and it hit the lines person and not be defaulted." Advertisement Musetti, who reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon last year, won the match 6-2 4-6 7-5 6-2 to progress to the last four at Roland Garros for the first time. He said: "Yeah, I was a little bit, honestly, scared, because I really didn't want to harm nobody, of course. "So I immediately went to the line umpire, and I of course said 'sorry', I apologise to everyone. "It was right to have a warning, but I think the umpire saw that there was no intention about that, and that's why probably just, you know, let me continue my game." The French Open is the only one of the four Grand Slams to still use line judges rather than electronic line calling. Advertisement Former British No1 Tim Henman was defaulted in a Wimbledon doubles match in 1995 when a ball he hit across the net after a point had finished struck a ball kid. Henman, part of TNT Sports and Eurosport's coverage of Roland Garros, said: "By the letter of the law, if you hit or kick a ball away in frustration and it hits a ball boy, line judge, or umpire, that can be a disqualification. "When you look at that, the umpire could have interpreted that as a disqualification. However, if Musetti was disqualified for that, Musetti would feel very unlucky and aggrieved. "When you're kicking a ball away, you've either got to be a better footballer and kick it in the right direction, or you are risking something like that." Advertisement Musetti will meet defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who steamrollered American 12th seed Tommy Paul 6-0 6-1 6-4 in another one-sided night match. "I'm sorry you wanted to watch more tennis. I had to do my work," Alcaraz told the Court Philippe-Chatrier crowd afterwards.

Hot Property: $2.8M Anne Arundel County estate overlooks Herring Bay
Address: 6975 Kim Lane, Friendship List Price: $2,800,000 Year built: 1985 Real estate agent: Jeannette Westcott, Keller Williams Realty Centre Last sold price/date: $520,000 / Oct. 21, 2015 Property size: 2.73 acres Unique features: At the southern tip of Anne Arundel County sits this contemporary-style home, an upscale entry in a still-rural landscape. Perched on the cusp of Herring Bay, the 40-year-old estate overlooks the water and is close to Herrington Harbour South, a high-end marina with its boating, swimming and recreation perks. It's a bright and airy residence with, in part, lofty 10-foot ceilings and sleek Italian ceramic tile floors. The entrance alone sets the tone, with a front door imported from Germany, a custom-made chandelier in the foyer, and a split and winding staircase leading to the upper level. There are four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, one with a soaking tub and heaven-sent heated floors. The kitchen boasts a 6-burner gas cooktop with griddle, two sinks and double ovens. Cabinet space abounds, and a butler's pantry adds another sink and more convenient storage space, at arm's length, for busy cooks. Other amenities include a wine cellar, cigar lounge and wet bar. The nearly 3-acre property features a heated outdoor pool and a vine-draped gazebo with a kitchen, TV and eating area. Raised garden beds and handsome fencing keep critters at bay, while an irrigation system keeps the lawn looking lush. There are two garages (one with a guest suite overhead) and an enormous circular driveway, totaling 24 parking spaces. Apparently, someone counted. Have a news tip?
