The news outlet also reports that the Manchester club is confident about having the necessary conversations with the Serie A side and sealing a deal for the exciting attacker, and are understood to be keeping a keen eye on the 24-year-old as the 2023/24 campaign progresses.
Last season, Leao made 48 appearances for Milan, accumulating 16 goals and 15 assists, while he also helped his side reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, where they lost 3-0 on aggregate to bitter rivals Inter Milan, with his gleaming performances attracting the interest of City.
He is also a regular for Portugal, having scored three goals to date for A Selecao.
After losing Riyadh Mahrez to the Saudi Pro League and Cole Palmer to Chelsea in the previous transfer window, the Citizens will be looking to add some reinforcements to their wide areas in January.
The club has already secured the services of the highly rated 21-year-old winger Jeremy Doku from Ligue 1 side Stade Rennais last month, and are seemingly keen on adding Leao to their list of talented wide players.
