Arsenal has emerged as a contender for AC Milan’s Rafael Leão, joining Bayern Munich in the race to sign the Portugal winger.
Arsenal is set to join Bayern Munich in the pursuit of AC Milan’s Rafael Leão, with the Premier League runners-up considering the Portugal winger as a potential replacement for Spain international Nico Williams. Leão has been in high demand, thanks to his impressive performances for AC Milan and Portugal.
The 25-year-old winger provided 25 goal contributions in 50 games for AC Milan last season and has caught the attention of top European clubs. Bayern Munich had held talks with Leão’s entourage, offering €75m in cash plus a player in exchange, but AC Milan’s hesitation has opened the door for other suitors.
Arsenal’s interest in Leão is driven by their desire to strengthen their squad and potentially replace Nico Williams.
With the financial resources and motivation to make a move, Arsenal could pose a significant threat to Bayern Munich’s pursuit of Leão. As AC Milan missed out on European qualification last season, Leão is actively seeking a move to a Champions League club, making Arsenal an attractive option.
The competition for Leão’s signature is heating up, and it remains to be seen which club will emerge victorious in the battle for the talented winger.
