AC Milan Consider Shocking Swap Deal: Leão for Araújo
In a surprising twist during the summer transfer window, AC Milan are reportedly exploring a bold move that could reshape their squad — offering star forward Rafael Leão in a direct exchange for Barcelona’s defensive rock, Ronald Araújo.
Milan, seeking to strengthen their backline with a world-class defender, see Araújo as the ideal candidate to anchor their defense for years to come. However, Barcelona’s valuation of the Uruguayan is high, prompting Milan to propose Leão — one of Serie A’s most explosive attackers — as a potential makeweight in the deal.
While Leão has been a fan favorite at the San Siro with his blistering pace and flair, Milan may be willing to sacrifice him for defensive solidity. Barcelona, on the other hand, face a tough decision: strengthen their already stacked attacking lineup with Leão or hold on to one of La Liga’s top center-backs.
The proposed swap deal remains speculative, but if it progresses, it could become one of the most talked-about transfers of the summer.
