AC Milan have been holding on to their biggest asset, Rafel Leao, for many years. The Portuguese winger was brought in from Lille in 2019, for what ended up with upwards of €50 million in transfer fees. In 288 appearances, the 26-year-old has a solid 80 goals and 65 assists, but now it is reported that the Serie A club has removed the “not for sale” sign. This has got Manchester United on the pitch.
The Red Devils are in the market to secure a new top-class left winger, Leao has shown he can decide games “on his own”. According to the Daily Mail , United have been in contact with AC Milan about a potential transfer this summer, Calciomercato claims United have been in informal contact with Leão’s representatives to gauge the mood around a possible transfer, with United scouts reportedly in the stands to watch Leao against Juventus on Sunday night.
