Recently, Barcelona expressed interest in AC Milan winger Rafael Leao, promising the club that they would be willing to pay up to €100 million for the Portuguese winger. However, Di Marzio confirmed that Milan will reject Barcelona’s offer as they have no intention of selling Leao.
On Tuesday, Mundo Deportivo published a report stating that Barcelona were prepared to raise €100 million to sign Leao from Milan. In reality, this deal would be extremely complicated, as Barcelona would need to sell a large number of players first to raise funds, and may even need to offer a player-plus-cash deal to convince Milan. Di Marzio described Leao as “untouchable” in Milan’s eyes. Considering that the transfer window is closing in less than two weeks, it is unsurprising that Milan won’t consider parting ways with Leao this summer.
Clearly, Barcelona are aware of the difficulties involved. Therefore, they haven’t held out much hope for this deal. They have now turned their attention to Juventus’s underperforming winger, Federico Chiesa. Based on current developments, this deal seems closer to a final agreement.
