As seems to be happening every few weeks, the Spanish press have once again linked Barcelona with a move for AC Milan winger Rafael Leao.
According to Marca, one of Barcelona’s objectives for next season is to strengthen the squad with a winger. It seems unlikely that Ansu Fati will stay Hansi Flick want to bring in a top-quality player for that position.
There are two options that were already mentioned last summer. On the one hand there is Nico Williams, although it is a complicated idea due to his price, because there are other clubs interested and because the player has not yet made up his mind.
Another option is Leao, the Portuguese forward who plays for Milan but ‘wants to leave the Italian club’. Barca are not entirely clear about this, because while their president Joan Laporta has always supported the idea, it is another expensive deal.
Jorge Mendes will have a say in Leao’s future, and he has ‘always wanted him to join Barcelona’. Everyone knows the excellent relationship that unites Mendes and Barca, but the issue is the €75m asking price given the Catalan side’s Financial Fair Play problems.
Not everyone within the club is completely convinced by the hypothetical operation either. Neither the sporting director nor the coach are that keen on Leao, who they believe has displayed attitude issues which caused him to be benched by Paulo Fonseca.
It is still too early to make a call on which winger will join Barcelona. The money available will be key to determining what type of operation the Catalan club can undertake, while Mendes’ insistence could also be decisive.
He said countless times that he want to stay and not only that but for some reason we have to give Barca discount?! gtfo…
50m + Yamal
That would be a god awful deal on Barca’s part
BArse-a ant afford the heating bill let alone Leao…Marca is trash
😂 – agree. It is quite amusing though to see the Spanish press dancing around with maracas at the thought of signing Leao.
Remember Shevchenko was going to Madrid for about 5 seasons running 😂😂 same old Sh!te from them
With Clownseca as coach anything is possible
With Clowns like you that refuse to read beyond the headline, anything is possible too
Okay Genius, what difference it make please explain.
Barca are so broke, they literally can’t even register Olmo right now, just had their appeal denied by court. This is the laziest journalism possible. Clown paper
Kits Hilton’s he may go to City for free….but they have 80 plus mil for Leao 😂
*it’s hilarious
Spot on!
De Jong + 50M
Seriously this forum needs to vet articles more. There’s a lot of rage-bait in this forum.
This article looks sus
Leao price dropped. He must gain 10 goals + 10 assists per season + Milan must be inpole position, to have 100m+ price tag
Sell him. Lazy ass. Rap music sucks
