Barça Pursues Leao After Rashford Success

Barcelona is considering AC Milan's Rafael Leao as a potential left-sided winger following the successful loan acquisition of Marcus Rashford from Manchester United.

Barcelona is exploring another pathway to secure a left-sided winger after successfully loaning Marcus Rashford from Manchester United. The Catalan club has rekindled interest in 27-year-old AC Milan forward Rafael Leao, who was previously linked to the club two summers ago when they pursued Nico Williams for the same position.

Last summer, Leao was also mentioned as a possibility when Luis Díaz was considered Barça's primary target, but financial constraints limited the club to loan signings. With Rashford's loan proving successful, Barcelona is now assessing whether a similar arrangement could be made for Leão, who remains a key player for AC Milan. rocore.sbs
