Under the guidance of new management and an ambitious technical team, FC Barcelona is determined to reclaim its place among Europe’s elite and put an end to its prolonged absence from continental triumph. As part of this mission, the club is pushing hard in the transfer market, targeting top-tier talent from around the globe with one goal in mind: winning the UEFA Champions League and restoring its legacy on the biggest stage.
Amid this push, one legendary voice has chimed in—Barcelona icon and Brazilian great Ronaldinho. In a recent interview, the Samba legend offered glowing praise for Portuguese forward Rafael Leão, currently starring at AC Milan, and even encouraged the club to consider signing him.
“There are great players at Milan, and they’re a strong team,” Ronaldinho said via Football Italia. “I think they can achieve great things next season.”
He then singled out Leão:
“The Milan star doesn’t need my advice—he’s an exceptional talent and a joy to watch. I’d love to see him in a Barcelona shirt someday.”
Spanish media have previously linked Leão to Barça as a potential summer target. With his blend of pace, power, and creativity, the 25-year-old winger could be a perfect fit in Hansi Flick’s system. Under contract with Milan until 2028, Leão has racked up 68 goals and 54 assists in 253 appearances—a track record that suggests he’s ready for the next step.
Should Barcelona make their move, Ronaldinho’s wish might soon become a reality.
