The details
According to a report from SempreMilan, Al Nassr made a deadline-day bid for Rafael Leao, which the Rossoneri immediately shut down.
The Faris Najd have been super active in the last few days of the window. In the past few days, they negotiated and reached an agreement for Victor Boniface and Jhon Duran but opted for the later.
Following the striker addition, they turned their attention towards bolstering the wide attacking areas and identified Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma. However, they had a reported €75 million bid rejected for the Japan international.

Al Nassr were expected to return with an improved offer but have seeming diversified their interest as they did in the striker situation, with reports from Italy claiming they sent in a bid worth €70-80 million.
However, Milan, who have batted away interest from the likes of Chelsea and Barcelona through the years, maintained Leao was not for sale.
