Rafael Leao may be available this summer for a cut-price fee of £43 million, and Manchester United are interested. He performed well for AC Milan in the first half of the season, but fitness problems contributed to a difficult spring. Tactical issues also affected him, with frequent shifts into a central attacking role instead of his preferred left-wing position. His 2025-26 output includes 10 goals and three assists in no more than 30 appearances across all competitions, which is considered disappointing. Milan are unhappy with his off-ball contribution and would consider selling him if a suitable offer arrives, though his future is not expected to be settled before the upcoming World Cup.
"According to Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan winger Rafael Leao might be available this summer for a cut-price fee of £43million, and such a deal would be of interest for Manchester United."
"The Portugal international played well for Milan in the first half of the season, but fitness issues largely contributed to what has been a problematic spring, as well as tactical issues with him being frequently shifted into the central attacking role, as opposed to his preferred position on the left."
"The numbers - 10 goals and just three assists in no more than 30 appearances in all competitions in 2025-26 - are disappointing for a player of such obvious talent."
"Furthermore, at Milan, they are unhappy with the 26-year-old's contribution off the ball, and though he has prominently featured in their kit promoting campaign for 2026-27, he would be allowed to leave this summer if a suitable offer arrives. However, his future is not expected to be resolved before the upcoming World Cup."
