Rafael Leão, who just turned 26 and completed his sixth season at AC Milan, is at the center of major transfer speculation after another standout campaign. The Portuguese winger recorded goals and assists in 50 appearances during the 2024/25 season, continuing his streak of double-digit figures in both categories for the fourth consecutive year.
Despite his contract running until 2028 with a €175 million release clause, reports suggest Leão has informed Milan of his desire to leave this summer. The club is reportedly open to offers exceeding €70 million, with Bayern Munich expressing interest and sending scouts to assess his form, though no formal bid has been made yet Meanwhile, Liverpool is also monitoring Leão as a possible attacking reinforcement, especially if they offload other forwards, but there are currently no concrete negotiations.
Leão’s performances have kept him in the spotlight, including helping Portugal win the Nations League and delivering key moments for Milan, such as his crucial equalizer in the Coppa Italia derby While Barcelona was approached, the Spanish club declined to pursue the transfer, focusing instead on other targets.
As the transfer window heats up, Leão’s next move remains uncertain—but with his talent and market value, a blockbuster deal could be on the horizon.
