"Rafael Leao's performances for AC Milan are attracting interest from top clubs once again, with Arsenal the latest club linked. As CaughtOffside report, Leao has been a central figure for Milan since his return from injury, with five goal contributions (four of them goals) in his last five games. Under Massimiliano Allegri he has been playing more as a striker rather than as a winger, and it seems to be working thus far."
"It would be a two or three-year extension to secure his services beyond the current 2028 deadline, and there would be a pay rise included too from the €5m net per year (plus €2m in potential bonuses) he currently gets. Despite the club's confidence, 'insiders suggest that the Rossoneri would still consider a transfer if an extraordinary offer arrived', as per the source. Mikel Arteta is a 'long-time admirer' of Leao, and believes he could compliment Bukayo Saka by playing on the other flank."
"We're talking about one of the best players in Serie A and in Europe: Leao has shown he has the qualities to be among the best in his position. There's also news about his future and his contract. Leao is increasingly a key player, increasingly a driving force in Allegri's Milan. Seven league games, four goals, and one assist. Leao is increasingly decisive, a player who provides assists, like the one for Pavlovic, and also a penalty taker."
Rafael Leao has returned from injury and contributed five goal involvements in five games, four of them goals, and has played more as a striker under Massimiliano Allegri. AC Milan are preparing a two- or three-year contract extension to secure him beyond 2028, including a pay increase from €5m net per year plus up to €2m in bonuses. Club management view Leao as a cornerstone and a symbol of their sporting identity, but they would consider an extraordinary transfer offer. Arsenal and other top clubs show interest, with Mikel Arteta seen as a long-time admirer who believes Leao would complement Bukayo Saka.
