Bayern Munich have been heavily linked with a move for AC Milan winger Rafael Leao this summer, but as of now, they have been little progress.
Premier League outfit Arsenal are also linked with a move for the 26-year-old attacker as Mikel Arteta is keen to bolster their attacking areas.
Arsenal fans are going crazy on social media after Leao may have dropped a possible hint where his heart lies in the future.

Calciomercato recently reported that Arsenal are one of the clubs vying for Leao’s signature. They could face competition from London rivals, such as Chelsea, among others.
AC Milan could be willing to sell their top player at the right price, which is thought to be around £60m. Leao has now sent Arsenal fans into meltdown as he posted a picture of himself wearing a Thierry Henry tee on his personal Instagram.

The interest from Bayern in Leao remains strong. Gianluca Di Marzio reported previously that the German giants are serious about signing the Portuguese winger and could bid in the region of £42m-£50m for the attacker.
While Bayern have turned their attention towards signing Nico Williams instead, Fabrizio Romano claimed that the club have discussed internally about Leao.
Should Bayern make a concrete move to sign Leao?
Christian Falkpreviously informed CFBayern that Germany legend Lothar Matthäus is a big fan of Leao, and he believes the winger has tremendous potential.
Leao is an exciting player to watch. He has completed more dribbles (213) than any other player over the last three Serie A seasons, as per WhoScored.
He can not only play on the flanks but also as a striker. In that way, he can also be used as a backup option for Harry Kane.
However, Bayern must be wary of potential threats from Premier League clubs and especially Arsenal. After missing out on Leroy Sane and Rodrygo, the Gunners could make a serious attempt to bring Leao to the Emirates this summer.
