Barcelona Monitoring Rafael Leão’s Uncertain Future at AC Milan
Barcelona is closely following Rafael Leão’s increasingly strained situation at AC Milan, as tensions between the Portuguese winger and the club’s fanbase continue to rise. With Milan struggling in recent weeks, frustrated supporters have singled out Leão for criticism, further complicating his standing at the club.
The latest conflict escalated after Milan’s disappointing loss to Lazio, prompting Leão to express his frustration on social media. While his message reflected the team’s broader struggles, it only deepened the divide between him and an already discontented fanbase.
A Breaking Point in His Relationship with Milan?
This isn’t the first time Leão has faced issues with Milan’s supporters, but according to Mundo Deportivo, the situation has never been this severe. Reports suggest that the club is now seriously considering selling the Portuguese international in the summer transfer window.
Some Italian media outlets have even speculated that Milan could bench Leão for their next Serie A match against Lecce. If tensions continue to escalate, a departure could become inevitable.
A Prime Opportunity for Barcelona?
For Barcelona, Leão’s uncertain future presents a potential transfer opportunity. The Catalan club had previously expressed interest in signing him last summer but couldn’t finalize a deal due to financial constraints.
Now, with Milan reportedly open to selling, Barcelona could revive their pursuit—provided they can create the financial flexibility needed for the move. Leão’s pace, dribbling skills, and physicality make him a highly appealing target for Hansi Flick’s squad, as the club looks to strengthen its attacking options.
If Barcelona can navigate their financial challenges, securing Leão’s signature could be a game-changing addition to their squad, offering the explosive attacking threat they need in this new era under Flick.
