Report: Liverpool set to battle Man United in the race for £60m forward

Rafael Leao Transfer Interest Builds Ahead of World Cup

Credit to the original reporting by the Daily Mail, whose detailed update has brought renewed attention to Rafael Leao and his uncertain future at AC Milan. As the summer transfer window approaches, the sense across Europe is that one of the continent’s most dynamic wide players could be on the move.

“Leao is one of the best wingers in Europe and is expected to play a leading role for Portugal at this summer’s World Cup in USA,” the report states, underlining both his current standing and looming global platform.

Interest is not casual. Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Real Madrid are all monitoring the situation closely, each assessing how Leao might fit into evolving attacking structures.

Market Value Sparks Strategic Moves

The quoted £60 million valuation has raised eyebrows, though not for the reasons one might expect. “That’s viewed as excellent value by many elite clubs for a 26-year-old of Leao’s calibre in the current market,” according to the article.

In a landscape where attacking talent often commands inflated fees, this figure presents a rare alignment of quality and affordability. Clubs are alert to timing too. The possibility of a standout World Cup could inflate his price significantly, prompting a push to secure a deal early.
