Barcelona is ready to resume attempts to sign Rafael Leão: Milan demands 175 million euros
Barcelona is ready to resume its attempts to sign Milan forward Rafael Leão. However, the club is unlikely to meet the asking price for the player, not to mention his salary.
Details. According to Calciomercato, the Catalan club may try to acquire the 25-year-old player at the end of the season. Barcelona president Joan Laporta has tasked Portuguese super-agent Jorge Mendes with negotiating the transfer. It is no secret that Mendes wants to move Leão from Milan. However, the winger’s contract with San Siro runs until 2028.
Milan has set a hefty price of 175 million euros for their player. The 25-year-old forward earns an impressive salary of 7 million euros per year, making him the highest-paid player at the club. These demands are a serious problem for Barcelona.
Reminder. Rafael Leão has some issues with Milan’s head coach Paulo Fonseca. Despite this, the Portuguese forward has scored 6 goals and provided 6 assists in 22 games for Milan this season.
