Indeed, the reigning La Liga champions and current league leaders have not initiated negotiations with either AC Milan or the forward’s entourage to explore the possibility of a move.

It is true that Leao is a player that Barça president-elect Joan Laporta likes. However, at this point, his signing is not being treated as a priority at the club.

AC Milan, for their part, would be open to parting ways with Leao this summer, and he could be available for a fee of around €50 million.

However, despite Laporta’s admiration, Leao is not seen as a key target at Barcelona, and there have been no moves made towards his signing either.

As reported earlier this week, the Catalans believe that the 26-year-old attacker has a major weakness in his game that would render him unfit for Hansi Flick’s tactical setup – his lack of pressing and defensive work rate.
