Manchester United has intensified its efforts to sign AC Milan forward Rafael Leao. Scouts from the English club observed the Portuguese player's performance directly from the stadium during the latest round of the Italian championship. Goal.com reports on the matter.
The 26-year-old forward, who played 81 minutes in the match between AC Milan and Juventus, left the pitch to boos from the fans. According to the Italian press, the Milan management is ready to sell the star player to improve their financial situation.
Currently, Leao's transfer value is estimated at £52 million. This amount is seen as a favorable opportunity for many of Europe's top clubs, as the player can perform effectively both on the wing and as a central forward.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that several Premier League clubs have made inquiries regarding the player's status. Although official negotiations have not yet begun, preparations for the summer transfer window are underway.
In addition to Manchester United, Barcelona, Liverpool, and clubs from Saudi Arabia have also expressed interest in Leao. If the team led by Michael Carrick secures a Champions League spot, the possibility of completing this transfer will increase further.
