Real Madrid among two Spanish clubs keen on Serie A superstar
Real Madrid have plans to make a number of signings this summer, as they seek to improve their squad following a disappointing season. A new central defender and midfielder are wanted, while they have now been linked with a surprise move for a new winger, which could be linked to the future of Vinicius Junior.
There are 14 months left on Vinicius’ contract at the Bernabeu, and although there is a lot of confidence that he will sign a new deal before the end of the summer, Real Madrid are not wholly confident. Because of this, possible replacements are starting to be lined up, and according to reports in England (via MD), among them is Milan’s Rafael Leao.
Diario AS have added that one other La Liga club is in for Leao, who will be allowed to leave the Rossoneri this summer. Barcelona have previously shown a lot of interest in the Portugal international, and with plans for a new left winger to be signed amid the expected departure of Marcus Rashford, there is a possibility that they could be ones to rival Real Madrid.
