Liverpool Eyeing AC Milan’s Rafael Leão
Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing AC Milan forward Rafael Leão during the summer transfer window. Former Premier League scout Mick Brown has confirmed the Reds’ interest, suggesting the Portuguese star checks many of the right boxes for the club. A move to the newly crowned Premier League champions wouldn’t be a shock.
Speaking to Football Insider, Brown said: “Leão offers the kind of explosive pace and direct style that Slot values, so he’d be a great fit. We know the manager wants to bolster his attacking options, and Leão is certainly on the radar. Keep an eye on this one—Liverpool could make a move, even if it means paying a hefty fee.”
Leão Could Strengthen Liverpool’s Attack
The Reds are in need of more quality and depth up front, and the 25-year-old forward could be the perfect addition. His versatility allows him to play on either wing or through the middle, bringing both creativity and goals. With 25 goal contributions (12 goals and 13 assists) last season, Leão has already proven his quality at Milan and possesses the technical skills to thrive in the Premier League.
He could even represent an upgrade over the likes of Darwin Núñez or Federico Chiesa—both of whom have been linked with potential exits from Anfield. With their futures uncertain, Liverpool will be eager to secure a top-tier replacement.
Joining the Premier League champions would be an exciting opportunity for Leão, who might be open to a fresh challenge at this stage of his career. The coming weeks could be decisive, as Liverpool consider whether to submit a formal offer. However, convincing Milan to sell won’t be easy—they’re likely to demand a significant fee for their star man
