The outgoing market is hotter than the incoming for AC Milan at the moment, and Rafael Leao has ended up in Bayern Munich’s sights.
The fact that Leao – among the most talented players in the Milan squad as well as the highest paid – has ended up as a target for a top European club is not news. It has happened in almost every single recent transfer window including this one, with Arsenal first linked and now Bayern Munich.

Asking price and Allegri’s wish
As Tuttosport (via MilanNews) report this morning, Leao has also ended up in the sights of Saudi Pro League clubs, who have been after him for some time. The player himself has put a veto on these options, because at almost 26 years of age he wants to stay in Europe.
In recent days, however, Arsenal and Bayern Munich have come forward. Milan’s response has always been the same: for less than €100m, the winger won’t leave. It was a counter that instantly made the Gunners desist and it remains to be seen how the Bavarians will interpret it.
The German club seems to be seriously interested but at the moment the offer is far from the demand. They have put €60m on the table plus a counterpart to choose from that, however, does not interest Milan.
In all this round of offers and proposals, one very important factor should not be forgotten that could have a say both with the club and with the player himself: the Massimiliano Allegri factor. The coach, since his time at Juventus, has been a great admirer of Leao’s game.
He has asked the club (it was even among his first requests) to put up a wall in front of all the proposals that could arrive. Allegri is convinced that he can take Leao to a new level, and that he will be central to his plans.
If that counterpart is Musiala then let’s go…
You’re a dreamer…🤣😂🤣🤣
Musiala and kimmich, way to go
We want Musiala, Kimmich and Alphonso Davies 🤭
Depends who the counterpart is because how many coaches have tried and failed to take Leao to this mysterious new level he supposedly has…
Palhinha would’t be bad for midfield. But Sane is leaving Munich allegedly, so that would also be good
Sane’s contract is expired, so he’s available without transfer fee. I won’t call it a free transfer because he’ll be chasing huge money I suspect.
Ok, so not an option for Milan.
Counterpart is Kim clearly.
Ahah for 60m + Kim Milan would send Leao to Munich in a second. And rightly so. This is clearly invented.
Kim is injured, same injury as last one. Any smart club will stay away. If that wasn’t the case every single premier league club would pay 30M for him tomorrow.
60M€ + Harry Kane will be good for us.
Or 60M€ + Joshua Kimmich will also be nice.
Sadly, even if it was an option Milan would say no. Can’t pay wages.
I’ll undergo an operation and I’ll gift them my kidney they can sell to pay the wages.
How much cost a kidney in the black market ?
Kane alone has 25M per year. Kimmich 20M. Kane is paid more than all Milan attackers together. Even Kim earns more or about the same net than best paid Milan player, Leao. Bayern is on another level from Milan, sadly.
Why would we give you Kimmich or Kane? We are trying to improve our attack, not weaken it. You are not in the UCL. You don’t get to demand our top players.
We really don’t care what non Milan fans care or think. Try the Bayern fansite.
Obviously the story is nonsense, but the only one that would really make sense would be Palhinha – would fit our plans and Bayern want him gone.
However, if Leao went then Palhinha’s current salary would make him nearly our top earner.
If it happened, it would go on the books as something like 100M for Leao and 40M for Palhinha.
If this is real, the counterpart would be Gnabry. A offensive allrounder. Fits the needs of Allegri
80m + Kim min jae it would be shake hand for furlani & Bayern.
Gnarby and Sane are the reason they want Leao. They’re far more inconsistent than Leao.
The current situation in the team reminds me a bit of the PSG. Once all the stars left, they won the CL. So if we end up selling Rafa, Theo and Mike, with proper signings who knows what could happen.
They have heavier wage there
You are smoking crack. You still need good players, a system and a good manager. We have none of those things right now.
One can only dream eh?
Bayern really like inconsistent wingers.
They already collection incosistent winger like sane & gnabry, maybe they want more ?
60ml + palinha is great deal
What’s the bigger picture though – selling off every senior/best player – Theo, Mike, Leao, Reijnders For what reason? Cashing out of the club?
No champions league,loss of revenue
Also I suspect the Redbird is using club money to pay the vendor that Redbird owes to Elliot
70m + Palhinha would be good deal.
Please try for Karim Adeyemi as replacement.
I thought the management has no clue what they’re doing
after reading the comments here, there’s something more banter than the management. That’s the worst! They could be so miserable, and have far no clue.. 🙂 good
Bayern muenchen player salary are high, even kim min jae got 6m euro nett / season ( triple gabbia salary). There is no way counterpart would work here. If you sell leao in same summer with tiji, theo, mike that would be disaster, no coach can make miracle revolution for ACM. Atalanta not even that stupid losing 4 key player on one summer market ( they are well known for seller club)
Jack you should RESPECT our 7 CL …. How much CL do you have?? If Bayern do not have more than 7 ….u should shut up😶
