On August 21, World Sport analyzed why Barcelona was eager to sign Milan forward Leo.
According to reports, first of all, Barça hopes to sign a top winger in the final stages of the transfer market to strengthen the team’s threat on the flanks. Although the Portuguese winger does not have the footballing stature of Mbappé, he is a very threatening dribbler, and at only 25 years old, he is at the peak of his career. The club hopes that Leo will become a sword on the left flank comparable to Yamal.
The Portuguese forward has scored 58 goals and assisted 44 times in 210 official matches for Milan.
In addition, there are reports that Barça is preparing for the club’s presidential election in the second quarter of 2026 and trying to appease members’ dissatisfaction. Last season, the Catalan giants experienced a disappointing season, failing to win any trophies, and legendary manager Xavi was also sacked prematurely. The team’s fans and members are very dissatisfied with Barcelona’s management. The club’s senior management hopes to get rid of this situation. Laporta’s board knows very well that this season is not just a new season, but a season where they need to prove themselves to the fans and members. They can no longer afford to have the team fail to achieve anything.
