According to Fichajes.net in Spain, Pep Guardiola wants a world class forward to arrive next summer and believes that Leao could be a perfect fit because of his ability to beat his man with pace and skill, and with his eye for goal.
Manchester City’s interest in Leao has been registered, but the task of getting him out of Milan presents itself as a considerable challenge even for a team with such riches.
This is because the former Lille man recently renewed until the summer of 2028 after a long negotiation that also involved Sporting CP and he has repeatedly expressed how content he is. As was widely reported at the time, he has a €150m release clause in his contract.
This means any negotiations will have to be carefully planned and executed, but City are confident they can convince him given the salary they are able to offer and the fact they are competing for every trophy they participate in.
