Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta added has one of the world’s most exciting players on his search list.
Rafael Leão’s name appears again in the transfer speculation. The talented Portuguese striker, one of AC Milan’s most important stars, will sit out the league match against Bologna due to quarantine, but his focus is already on the big goal of the season: the Coppa Italia. For Leão, winning titles with the Rossoneri is a constant motivation. Since lifting the Scudetto in 2022 and the Supercoppa in January, he has not stopped dreaming of making history at the San Siro.

Arsenal’s interest tempts Leão
Still, his future in Italy is not guaranteed. Despite the fact that he has confirmed his loyalty to the club, developments in England are creating uncertainty. Arsenal’s new sporting director Andrea Berta has placed the Portuguese winger among his top priorities to strengthen the “Gunners” for next season. According to multiple sources, the London-based club is willing to make an offer of around €100 million to secure his signature.
Milan, who have balanced their accounts through the sale of Sandro Tonali and strengthened their squad with the likes of Christian Pulisic and Tijjani Reijnders, have made it clear that no player is unsellable. Leão is officially not on the market, but if such a significant offer comes, Milan’s management may be tempted to negotiate. The future of Milan’s “number 10” may be closer to the Emirates Stadium than many think.
