AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli admits he’s urged Rafael Leao to resist interest from Chelsea.

Amid new contract talks between Leao and Milan, Chelsea are expressing interest in the Portugal international.

Pioli is aware of Chelsea’s push and says he’s spoken to Leao about his situation.

“I advised Rafa to sign a new contract and stay at Milan. I see that he is happy with us,” said Pioli.

“Here he will have the opportunity to grow even stronger.”
