Manchester United are reportedly pursuing a high-profile move for AC Milan’s Rafael Leão as part of their summer squad overhaul. The Portuguese winger, renowned for his pace and flair, is attracting interest from several top clubs.
Sources indicate that United have shown serious intent in acquiring Leão, who may be available for around €100 million (£83 million) as AC Milan consider a squad revamp. However, competition is stiff, with Manchester City, Barcelona, and Chelsea also expressing interest. ([Peoples Person][1], [Sports Mole][2])
Leão’s current contract with Milan runs until 2028 and includes a €175 million release clause, but recent tensions with management and a dip in form have fueled speculation about his departure. ([Wikipedia][3])
Manchester United’s pursuit of Leão aligns with their need to strengthen the left flank, especially with Marcus Rashford’s future uncertain. Leão’s versatility and attacking prowess make him a prime target to rejuvenate United’s offense.([Peoples Person][1])
