A potential transfer to Manchester United continues to be covered in Italy Manchester United’s interest in Rafael Leao has been thoroughly covered by the Italian media in recent days. AC Milan now seem to be intensifying attempts to sell the player. The Portuguese attacker was again very disappointing in Milan’s 3-2 loss to Atalanta at the weekend. He was booed when taken off, with the atmosphere at the Rossoneri turning toxic in recent weeks. Leao has found himself in the centre of it all, after setting high standards for himself in the last few years. This has led to Milan considering his summer sale.

As things continue to get worse, talk about a transfer continues to intensify. Manchester United will have preference Corriere dello Sport believe Leao’s time to say goodbye has finally arrived. They feel something is now broken in the relationship between the parties, with the Rossoneri ready to listen to offers between €50m and €60m in the summer. Al-Hilal could be a leading candidate for the winger, having attempted to sign him in January 2025.

Both Milan and Mendes will benefit from his exit through transfer fees and commissions. A sale to Manchester United will only increase the excitement, which is why the Red Devils are being talked about regularly in this scenario. The way Corriere dello Sport have frame their information suggests there’s been no offers for the 26-year-old. Milan know that and that is why they’ve reduced their asking price. The transfer opportunity is there for Manchester United, it’s just a case of whether they really want it.
