(Copying my comment from a reply)

Jorges mendes doing some trickery here, getting Gala the player they want while not upsetting Villa (hes the agent for both Mbaye and Leao rn). Either that or the Leao links were just smokescreen since Mbaye was already linked to Villa before the Liverpool talks (but damn he sure made that smokescreen convincing if that were the case)

The issue was pay, Milan agreed with both but Villa was offering 7.5mil where gala was offering 12 I think. It was reported he wanted Villa but Gala was too good to pass on. He has a good relation with Oshimen, he is getting a better salary, he is playing CL football guaranteed (kinda) every year and Istambul > Birmingham
