According to the latest news from Spain media newspaper El Mundo, Barça are going all out to sign AC Milan star Rafael Leao, hoping to form a wing-to-wing with Yamal.
According to previous media reports, Barcelona want to let Gundogan leave this summer window to free up salary space to sign a top left winger. Barcelona are actively looking for alternatives after a failed attempt to bring in Nico Williams. Real Madrid signed Mbappe in this summer window, Atletico Madrid signed Alvarez, and if Barcelona wants to compete with Madrid for the La Liga title, they must strengthen the left winger position and fly on the right side of Yamal. Deco likes Liverpool's Dias, but Liverpool are reluctant to let him go. Barcelona are targeting Milan top player Rafael Leao, who wants Mendes to run the deal, and Leao is eager to join a club like Barcelona to increase his traffic and popularity. Barcelona's budget is €62 million + one player.
Leao joined Ligue 1 AC Milan from Ligue 1 Lille for a transfer fee of 49.5 million euros in the summer window of 2019 and has been with AC Milan for 5 years, but to be honest, Leao has not scored much in Milan, and the Portugal winger needs a master to become a real super player.
The 25-year-old Leao, 1.88 meters tall, is a right-footed player, mainly playing as a left winger, and can also play as a center forward and a second striker, with a German turnover of 90 million euros and an annual salary of 5 million euros (after tax). Rafael Leao made 47 appearances for Milan in all competitions last season, 41 of which were starts, contributing 15 goals and 13 assists, and a near-double-double.
