Milan forward Rafael Leao has changed agents which could complicate things for potential suitors, according to reports in Italy.
The Portugal international has long been represented by super-agent Jorge Mendes and well he has not completely cut ties with his compatriot, he has signed with a French lawyer close to his father.
And Gazzetta dello Sport report that would make things harder for Real Madrid, who are reportedly interested in his signings given it would not be a straightforward deal.
Leao’s former team Sporting CP are owed a large compensation fee due the manner of his 2018 exit while there are sell-on fees due to Lille as part of the terms of his Milan transfer.
The report suggests a new agent tackling these issues with prior knowledge may find it difficult to strike a deal with a new club.
According to Gazzetta, Leao has shown much more willingness to renew at Milan than Franck Kessie, who left on a free transfer this summer.
