Tottenham Hotspur are not pursuing a move for AC Milan forward Rafael Leao despite recent reports linking the Portugal international with a switch to North London, The Athletic reports.
Rumours gathered pace earlier in the summer after Tottenham made major investments to bolster their squad, including signing Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.
With manager Roberto De Zerbi preparing for his first full season in charge of Tottenham, many believed the club was searching for another high-profile attacking player.
Those reports were fuelled by claims that Tottenham had held informal talks with Leao's representatives before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The discussions were described as exploratory rather than formal negotiations, and they took place before Portugal's campaign ended in the round of 16 after a defeat to eventual champions Spain.
