AC Milan Open to Rafael Leão Sale After Slump and Fan Boos

Italian reports now point to a fee near €50 million, reflecting a role change that has blunted his impact.

Overview

  • Milan are prepared to consider summer bids of about €40–50 million for Leão, a sharp drop from past figures, with no formal offers reported.
  • The 26-year-old has gone roughly six weeks without a goal and was booed off after a 3–0 home loss to Udinese at San Siro.
  • Head coach Massimiliano Allegri defended him, saying opponents double him and noting he has been used as a striker rather than on the left wing.
  • World Soccer Talk, citing Andrea Ramazzotti of La Gazzetta dello Sport, reports Leão feels mistreated by the boos and has decided to leave at season’s end.
  • Premier League interest, including from Manchester United, and inquiries from Saudi clubs are reported, though he still has about two years left on his Milan contract.
