Expressions of interest arrived from Barcelona for Rafael Leao over the summer, and a future attempt cannot be excluded at the moment as per a report.
It was reported by both the Spanish and Italian press in August that Barcelona had turned to Leao once they knew that they would not be able to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao, although a deal of that magnitude was always going to be very difficult to pull off with their economic tightrope.
La Gazzetta dello Sport have published a report today about Leao’s difficult recent period with Milan, including what the management are planning to do to get him back to full confidence, and the implications that it might have if he is unable to get out of his rut.
As per the paper, any thoughts regarding Leao’s future ‘do not go beyond the next match’ which is Bologna away from home on Saturday, and the reason for that is because he is locked in a battle with Noah Okafor for a starting spot.
If anything, it is his agent that would look around. Last summer ‘some signals had arrived from Barcelona’ before CEO Giorgio Furlani ruled out a sale, but the Catalan side ‘remain in financial crisis’. If they were to resolve their economic problems, then they may well try again.
However, it is an idea just as any mention of interest from other clubs would be, and there is only one option on the table at the moment: to get back to being in the best possible form for Milan.
Lol. In August barca though about leao a bit but there broke and now an article is written how they thought about leao in August but they’re broke and they will still be broke in summer 2025.
Genius journalism that. Gds, never disappoints.
Meanwhile raphinha is on 9 goals and 8 assists. Yup barca needs a winger…
Apparently City wants to get Raphinha and Barca need the money, that’s probably why.
Leao will go for less than Raph
If pep stays in shíty. I wouldn’t put it past him to pack up and move on.
Enrique also has a contract until 2025. Could be an opening at P$$$$$G next summer
barca have raphina anyways he scored 3 goals against bayern yesterday
Yes leao is free to go because Acmilan will sign Armand lauriente from Sassuolo to be his replacement then Berardi will join Acmilan January to become chukwueze deputy
