Overview
- Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano confirmed Friday that Premier League clubs, including Liverpool and Manchester United, have called AC Milan about Rafael Leao with no official bids submitted.
- Multiple outlets report Real Madrid and Manchester City are also monitoring the 26-year-old, setting up a race among Europe’s elite for a summer move.
- Daily Mail reporting relayed by several publications says Milan are open to selling to help balance finances, with a price point widely cited at about £60m (€70m/$80m).
- Liverpool view Leao as a possible successor to Mohamed Salah after his confirmed end‑of‑season exit, with the winger’s ability to play across the front line seen as a fit for their attack.
- Clubs aim to secure any deal before the 2026 World Cup to avoid a price rise, while weighing his contract to 2028, 10 goals and 3 assists this season, and recent short injury absences and form swings.
