AC Milan is reportedly willing to let Rafael Leao, a 26 year old winger, leave for a reduced price, while Manchester United is interested in signing him.
This willingness to part with Leao at a discounted price suggests that AC Milan is writing off talent if it doesn't meet their current needs or fit into their short term vision.
