Rafael Leao Transfer News: Will Real Madrid sign Rafael Leao?
Rafael Leao Transfer News: Real Madrid is reportedly still interested in signing Rafael Leao, according to a report from the Spanish media site Fichajes. The current La Liga champions are prepared to launch a bid for the Portuguese forward. In the next summer transfer window, AC Milan will want €100 million to release him.
Since joining AC Milan from LOSC Lille in August 2019, Rafael Leao has become one of the world’s best players. The Rossoneri’s 23-year-old star had a rocky start at San Siro before blasting onto the scene as a talismanic figure. And he was the team’s brightest star when Milan won Serie A last year.
The Portuguese forward hasn’t been great this season, but he’s still helped his team score 23 times. In 40 games played, Leao has scored 11 goals and dished out 12 assists. And his development has caught the eye of numerous major teams, including Real Madrid.
It’s unclear why Real Madrid would want to sign Leao since Vinicius Junior already has the left flank position locked up. The AC Milan superstar will be unable to play his favoured position as long as the Brazilian international remains at the club. However, the current La Liga winners are still interested in acquiring his services.

The Serie A champions are eager to sign the young player, who is now 23 years old. However, if things become too heated, AC Milan may cave and sell the player. That’s because Leao’s current deal expires in a little over a year, giving his admirers reason to go on the attack this summer.
According to the source, that is just what Real Madrid intends to accomplish. In order to get rid of the Portuguese striker during the summer transfer window, AC Milan has set a price tag of €100 million. That’s a bigger sum than what has been reported in several media outlets recently.
To what extent, then, Real Madrid will be willing to pay the reported €100 million for a player who, if he joins the club, would not be able to play his chosen position at the Santiago Bernabeu. A move this summer is looking likely for the time being.
