FC Barcelona Inquires About AC Milan Winger

FC Barcelona has made enquiries regarding the possible signing of AC Milan winger Rafael Leao, according to reports in SPORT and Gazzetta dello Sport. The club previously attempted to sign the player in two consecutive summers. Club president Joan Laporta has long admired the 27-year-old, whose agent is Jorge Mendes.

Leao's reported price tag has dropped from $171 million to $69 million. The reduction is linked to new AC Milan coach Ruben Amorim's system, which reportedly makes the player surplus to requirements under a contract that runs until mid-2028. Manchester United, Tottenham, and Saudi Arabian clubs have also shown interest in the player.

Barcelona recently signed Anthony Gordon for $80 million and already fields Raphinha on the left flank. Raphinha, 29, has missed matches due to hamstring injuries, and his future could be affected by potential offers from Saudi Arabia.
