Barcelona unconvinced about move for €50m-rated AC Milan star despite Laporta approval

The Portuguese international is open to a move to Catalonia. But for Barcelona, he remains just another alternative for Martinez and there is no concrete interest as of yet.

The player is approved by the president-elect, Joan Laporta. But within the broader members of the club, the AC Milan forward doesn’t generate much excitement.

Formerly of Sporting CP, Leao’s numbers at Milan speak for themselves, having been involved in 80 goals and 65 assists in 290 competitive matches.

However, the Portuguese international’s numbers pale in comparison when looked through the lens of someone who has to replace Robert Lewandowski or compete with Raphinha on the left flank.

That is why Barcelona members are not completely on board with the idea of Leao, who remains an alternative should the club fail in their attempts to sign Alvarez this summer.
