Liverpool have launched a surprise move for AC Milan star Rafael Leão, stunning the football world with an unexpected bid for the Portuguese sensation early this morning. Sources close to the negotiations confirm that a formal offer has been placed on the table, and the Reds are now pushing hard to make Leão their marquee signing of the summer.
🇵🇹 Leão, widely considered one of the most electrifying forwards in Europe, had not been strongly linked to Anfield — until now. The bid is believed to be in excess of €90 million, signaling serious intent from Liverpool’s new sporting project under Arne Slot.
🔴 Why this is huge:
Liverpool are revamping their attack amid uncertainty over Mohamed Salah’s future.
Leão is seen as a long-term superstar who could electrify the Premier League with his pace, flair, and unpredictability.
Talks have accelerated rapidly — insiders describe the bid as “bold, unexpected, but very real.”
⚠️ However, AC Milan are reluctant to let go of their talisman without a fight. Leão has a €175M release clause, and Milan will demand a premium unless the player pushes for the move.
👀 What now?
Leão’s camp is aware of the bid and reportedly “intrigued” by the Liverpool project.
Milan are yet to respond officially.
Liverpool fans could be witnessing the beginning of a transfer saga that could define their summer.
