PM: Man Utd plotting move for Milan star who they want to partner with Rashford

Another Premier League club have joined the list of teams interested in signing Rafael Leao from AC Milan this summer, a report claims.

PianetaMilan report that Milan want to renew the contract of Leao but it will probably require an investment of €40m in net salary plus commissions to his entourage and that is why negotiations are difficult.

If the summer arrives and a renewal has not been agreed then there are clubs circling ready to take advantage such as Manchester City, Real Madrid and PSG. However, there is another top club who are keen in Manchester United.

Their idea is to put Leao alongside Marcus Rashford and form a fast attack, but it will cost United a lot of money to do so as the Portuguese forward has a €150m and the management do not want to deviate too much from that value.

With a contract expiring effectively just a year later, that amount could go down a bit, but not by much. It is also worth remembering that 20% of the proceeds from Leao’s possible exit will end up going to Lille, as agreed back in 2019.
