Substitution! Barcelona set to sign Rafael Leão instead of Nico Williams

Milan has already set a price tag for the Portuguese star.

Details: According to SPORT, Barcelona is determined to land 26-year-old Milan and Portugal winger Rafael Leão.

After their unsuccessful bid for Nico Williams—which ended in disappointment for the Catalans—the Blaugrana have shifted their focus to another electrifying attacking option.

Reports suggest that Milan is open to letting go of one of their key players, but only for a fee of at least €70 million. Barcelona is taking time to assess all the details and nuances of a potential deal, but it is already clear that Leão has become the club’s main transfer target for this window.

Last season, Rafael Leão made 50 appearances for the Rossoneri, scoring 12 goals and providing 13 assists. He also lifted the Nations League trophy with the Portugal national team.

According to Transfermarkt, Leão’s market value is set at €70 million. His current contract with Milan runs until 2028.

If you want, I can add reactions from the Italian media, Milan fans’ opinions, or compare Leão with other wingers Barcelona is interested in.

Reminder: OFFICIAL. Nico Williams has signed a new ten-year contract with Athletic Bilbao.
