La Gazzetta dello Sport confirms Milan will listen to offers for Rafael Leao in the summer, claiming that ‘it’s never been so easy’ to sign the Portuguese winger: ‘Manchester United might be an option.’
Milan will listen to offers for their attacker, Rafael Leao, in the summer, Gazzetta confirms.
Leao has a €175m release clause
The Portuguese was booed by his own fans when subbed off during a 3-0 home loss to Udinese on Saturday and hasn’t scored a goal since March 1.
Leao has a €175m clause that can be activated from July 1 to 15, but the Rossoneri are aware that no club would pay such a fee for the 26-year-old after another inconsistent season.
The only big variable could come from the 2026 World Cup, even if Leao last found the net with his national team in November 2024.

Bayern Munich and Barcelona recently showed interest in the striker but have never entered advanced talks with either Milan or the player’s camp.
Chelsea offered €80m a few years back and might still be interested, but watch out for Manchester United too, as the Red Devils ‘can be an option more than other clubs,’ according to Gazzetta.
Leao’s contract at San Siro expires in June 2028. He has scored ten goals and provided two assists in 26 appearances across all competitions this season.
