Overview
- Manchester United are assessing proposals for Rafael Leao as intermediaries try to bring the clubs to the table, with no formal negotiations reported.
- AC Milan are widely reported to want a cash-only sale rather than a player swap for the Portugal winger.
- Reports in Italy say United have floated Marcus Rashford, Manuel Ugarte or Joshua Zirkzee as possible makeweights in a player-plus-cash package.
- Coverage says Milan would listen to offers near €50–60 million despite Leao’s release clause being set at €175 million.
- Leao is under contract through 2028 and has nine goals and three assists this season, and a sale could help Milan fund a new striker such as Alexander Sorloth.
