Reports: ‘Minimum nine figures’ – Barcelona ‘readying’ Leao offer for Milan | OneFootball

Rafael Leao was the topic of hot interest before the mercato opened, and there have been peaks and troughs of interest throughout. However, Barcelona are now ready to approach AC Milan with an offer.

Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United all were believed to be interested in the prospect of signing Milan’s star before the mercato opened, all looking to gain one of the best wingers in the world, but none came forward after the Rossoneri referred to the release clause in Leao’s contract.

A similar story can be told about Al-Hilal’s rumoured interest, but again, there was no proper movement made, and Leao remains.

However, a new club has come forward aiming to put together a deal for the Diavolo’s prized asset, and this time it is Barcelona. Reports emerged in recent days about the interest, and reports from Spain have solidified the Blaugrana’s interest, stating the winger is a ‘dream’ target for their management.

However, considering the financial issues at the club, it remains to be seen whether they could get anywhere near the figure required to relocate the player.

As Mundo Deportivo and El Chiringuito (via Pianeta Milan) claim, a proposal of €60 million is ready, but there is no chance of a deal being finalised for that figure. Instead, Milan are expected to demand more than €100m for negotiations to begin, let alone conclude.
