AC Milan star Rafael Leão has ‘exchanged terms’ with Arsenal after speaking on the phone with director of football Andrea Berta.
That’s [according to Foot Mercato,](https://www.footmercato.net/a8007795166071732669-rafael-leao-a-echange-avec-arsenal) who report that Leão may be considering a departure from AC Milan this summer and Arsenal have positioned themselves early.
They state that Leão would have interest from several clubs in Europe if he decides to move on this summer and Arsenal have put him on their shortlist.
He is not the top priority for the Gunners this summer at this moment in time. Rather, he has been added to a shortlist as they assess several options before making a final decision.
Berta, Arsenal’s director of football, spoke with Leão on the phone ten days ago. This was seen as sign of their definite interest in him this summer.
The Gunners are expected to be busy in this summer transfer window after the appointment of Berta and a disappointing title challenge. Adding to their forward line is believed to be a priority and they’ve been linked to several strikers and wingers.
Leão can now be added to that list and is a name to keep an eye on after Berta initiated matters by speaking to the AC Milan star on the phone.
