Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has dropped a fresh update regarding Liverpool reportedly interested in AC Milan forward Rafael Leao.
Liverpool Keep Tabs on Rafael Leao Amid Summer Plans
Liverpool have been linked with a potential summer transfer for Rafael Leao. The Portuguese winger is carving out a name for himself at AC Milan. He has developed into one of the most sought after wide players in Serie A. His pace, dribbling ability and flair on the ball are what makes him so lethal.
In Italy, reports suggested that the PL champions had first-track interest in the winger. However, journalist Fabrizio Romano claims that no discussions or talks are forthcoming as of now. In his latest newsletter, Romano stated that no formal talks have taken place between Liverpool and AC Milan so far.
Still, the Reds could become serious if they sell one of their current wingers. Other European and Saudi clubs such as Bayern Munich, Al-Hilal, and Al-Nassr also in the mix. The race for Leao could heat up quickly.
Diaz Exit Could Open Door for Leao Transfer
Liverpool’s interest in the Portuguese forward may depend heavily on Luis Diaz. The Colombian winger is reportedly open to a new challenge. And Saudi club Al-Nassr are preparing a big-money bid. The Reds could decide to part ways if they receive an offer close to their £72m. That move would leave a spot open on the left flank.
Although, bringing in a new winger may not be Arne Slot’s top priority. But, Leao’s quality and potential makes him a great target. AC Milan will likely want around £110 million to part with their star forward. Thich makes it a big decision for Liverpool’s board.
For now, there’s interest but nothing official. Although, the story could evolve quickly once the transfer window opens.
