Overview
- Liverpool and Manchester United have asked AC Milan about Rafael Leao’s availability, with Manchester City and Real Madrid also monitoring his situation, according to multiple reports.
- Daily Mail reporting echoed by Yahoo Sports, World Soccer Talk and EPL Index says Milan are open to offers around £60m to help meet financial guidelines.
- Leao’s deal runs to 2028, and sporting director Igli Tare has said he is very important to Milan, which highlights the tension between his status and a possible sale.
- The 26-year-old has about 10 goals and 3 assists this season, and recent short injury absences plus a more central role under Massimiliano Allegri have influenced his form.
- Barcelona are not pursuing him at that price, which leaves Premier League clubs well placed to push for a pre-World Cup agreement.
