The former Ballon d'Or Lothar Matthaus encouraged Bayern Munich to recruit the AC Milan star, Rafael Leao, as part of his search for new offensive talents.

The former star player of Bayern, Lothar Matthaus, would welcome the signature of the AC Milan striker, Rafael Leao. The legendary winner of the World Cup cited the versatility of the Portuguese striker as his main asset and believes that it could be used as a lining of the number 1 striker Harry Kane, as well as on the left flank.

Kane raised his first major career trophy during the 34th Bayern Germany title in the 2024-25 season. The Bavarians seek to strengthen their offensive potential, and the captain winner of the 1990 World Cup believes that Rafael Leao could be the ideal reinforcement.

The winger scored 12 goals and delivered 13 assists for Milan, but that was not enough against the Rossoneri, who finished in eighth place and lacked any European competition. This could allow Bayern to recruit the player for an amount much lower than his release clause of 150 million euros, while a crisis threatens the Giant of Serie A.

Matthaus said: ” I think FC Bayern needs a fee at the post of left winger. He then praised Leao and his versatility, stressing his importance by adding: “The Portuguese international has mainly played on the left wing in Milan, but it can also evolve as a center-forward, which would be important, because Bayern needs a replacement for Kane when he needs rest. »»

Bayern will face Auckland City FC at the FIFA 2025 club World Cup, which will take place in the United States. The Milan season having ended with a 2-0 victory against Monza on May 24, Leao could take advantage of this truce to reflect on his future. The new sports director of Milan, Igli Tare, should have a busy summer, with players seeking to evolve.
