AC Milan is open to listening to offers for Rafael Leao during the upcoming summer transfer window. Reports from Sportmediaset indicate that Manchester United dispatched scouts once again to observe the Portuguese attacker during their recent 3-2 defeat against Atalanta on Sunday.
Manchester United’s pursuit of Leao continues, with representatives from the English club reportedly attending San Siro for the second time in less than a month to witness the player in action. Their previous attendance was at the end of April, during a goalless draw against Juventus, as reported by Tuttosport.
While Leao possesses a release clause of €175 million, multiple sources suggest that AC Milan is prepared to accept an offer significantly lower than this figure next summer. Spormediaset has confirmed that a bid of approximately €50 million could be sufficient to secure Leao’s signature at the end of the season.
This season, Leao has contributed ten goals and three assists in 30 appearances across all competitions. However, he has not found the back of the net since March 1. The player has faced jeers from the crowd in Milan’s last three home matches against Udinese, Juventus, and Atalanta. Consequently, leading Italian media outlets are now suggesting that his tenure at the club is effectively over, with Milan prepared to entertain offers for him this summer.
