Rafael Leao’s situation at AC Milan is far from ideal, and reports from Spain are claiming that a number of clubs are keeping tabs on things.
There are several worrying signs that emerged from Milan’s 2-0 defeat to Napoli last night, and one of them is once again Leao. He was benched by Paulo Fonseca and while the club continue to stress there is not a bad relationship, reports have suggested things are ‘close to breaking points’.
According to a report from Fichajes, Leao’s current struggles are attracting the interest of Arsenal, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain. They believe that he could be available for €120m or less, despite the fact that his release clause is €175m.
The Gunners have been seeking a potential upgrade on Gabriel Martinello for a while. Manchester United could replace Marcus Rashford with Leao if they decide to sell him, with PSG always in the market for top talent too even if they have Bradley Barcola.
According to SPORT meanwhile, Barcelona are still monitoring Leao too. The LaLiga leaders were heavily linked with a move for the former Lille man in the summer when it became clear they wouldn’t get Nico Williams from Athletic Club.
However, with Barca there always comes the added caveat that they must pull levers in order to get their economic situation in check before registering a player, especially one of that cost.
It’s seems that things are cookin’ up.
DONT SELL – get rid of Fonseca instead and get somebody that can motivate and develop Leao.
That train has long pass. We should cash in while the price is still somewhat high. He isn’t gonna develop. Dude been the same for 3 years now. Zero development.
Fonseca is literally trying to develop him and it’s a madhouse. He doesn’t want to develop.
⬆️THIS!!!⬆️
Can we transfer you and similar fans?
No one can develop Leao as he clearly doesn’t want that to happen.
haha 120m why you lie people? who will pay more then 50m for him?
No one. Fact.
For 120 we can get 6 new mediocre players.
Seriously though, we should cash in on Leao in due time. But rather than quantity we should try to buy quality.
A different approach in other words.
The perfect plan would be to find a good coach with proven top experience first. If Leao still can’t find his former self, let him go. Meanwhile, recruit a promising talented player to challenge him, one who could replace him if he goes. But I’m not a fan of selling Leao. We know his talent and what he can do, he’s still young. I prefer to have Leao who is (hopefully) poor short term than Okafor or someone else who is average long term.
Many people here (not you Kristian) always argue that top clubs sell their top players. Yeah but they do it when they already have the replacement in house. We can’t trust this incompetent management, they have no long term plan besides the brand and are all the time just reacting. If they sell Leao, I guess they’ll invest the money in downgrades again.
Leao isnt getting back to Scuddeto season and we should accept that. He has some mental problems with attitude and no coach is gonna fix that, not even Guardiola. Just ask yourself why no elite coach wants him? So yeah, give a discount for 120 or so, take the money and leave.
Guardiola wouldn’t fix it, he doesn’t do that. With Conte he would have a record season. 100%. Easy.
“They believe that he could be available for €120m or less, despite the fact that his release clause is €175m.”
Not event a mad psg director would spent that amount money for leap..
Sell him and we also give a bonus with fans of him following him wherever he goes.
