Leao Linked to Manchester United Ahead of Milan Retool
Rafael Leao is being linked with a potential transfer from AC Milan to Manchester United as the Italian club considers overhauling its attacking lineup. An intermediary has initiated discussions, with Milan reportedly open to selling Leao for around €50 million or via a player swap due to concerns over his form and attitude. Manchester United view Leao as a possible alternative if they fail to secure other targets like Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers.
- ▪AC Milan may restructure their attack this summer, making Rafael Leao available for transfer.
- ▪Leao is open to leaving only if it's for a top club, and his wages are considered manageable at €5.5 million plus bonuses.
- ▪Milan is unlikely to activate Leao’s €175 million release clause, but could accept €50 million or a swap involving players like Marcus Rashford, Joshua Zirkzee, or Manuel Ugarte.
- ▪Manchester United prefer Morgan Rogers but could pursue Leao as a fallback option, while Barcelona also monitors the situation.
- ▪AC Milan plans to target a physical striker such as Alexander Sorloth, Nicolas Jackson, or Gonçalo Ramos if they sell Leao.
