As for several summers and winters, Rafael Leão is one of those players cited here and there. But the 25 -year -old left winger, referenced as one of the best players in his post in Europe, necessarily cost a certain price that not all clubs are ready to put on the table. In recent months, his name had for example been associated with Barça. A oddity, given the financial reality that hovers over the Spanish club.
This year, the former Lille player did not have the best season of his life in the colors of AC Milan even if accounting, his figures remain honest (50 games, 12 goals, 13 assists). In his discharge, the instability of the club, which collects the coaches since the departure of Stefano Pioli (Paulo Fonseca, Sergio Conceica, and now Max Allegri), has not really helped. And on arrival, the consequences are heavy since the Rossoneri will not play any European Cup next season.
Bayern Munich turned the page
This data should certainly consolidate Leão in his desire to change the air. At almost 26 years old (he will celebrate them on June 10), the Portuguese must take the plunge, which would be the logical meaning of his career. Bayern Munich, inclined to renew its offensive sector after the departure of Thomas Müller, and possibly the departures of Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sané or Serge Gnabry, has long been a candidate to recruit him. But according to Bild This Saturday, the Munich club was seriously cooled by Milan.
According to the German newspaper, the Lombard training requires more than 100 million euros for its attacker. A prohibitive rate for Bayern, which has never spent so much on the market (€ 95 million for Harry Kane two years ago). Today, the Munich club would have withdrawn from the negotiations, which would have had the gift of annoying the player, furious that the two clubs were not able to find an agreement. According to Bildit is towards Nico Williams that should definitely turn now. A summer still very uncertain for Leão.
