What happened. Milan have decided to sell Rafael Leão after coach Rúben Amorim told his entourage he is not part of the project, with Galatasaray the only concrete suitor and the club lowering demands to around €50m.

• Leão was left out of the squad for the final pre-season friendly with a muscle injury.
• Milan are interested in Cologne's Said El Mala as a replacement.
• Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri has slipped down the list due to the Gunners' reluctance to loan him.

Milan await an official bid from Galatasaray before Leão decides on a move to Istanbul.
