Looking for a competitor for Bradley Barcola on the left lane, Paris Saint-Germain is still interested in Rafael Leão. The capital club competes with FC Barcelona for the AC Milan winger, available on the transfer market for around 90 million euros.
This is not the first time that Rafael Leão has contributed to the transfer window. But this season, the AC Milan winger is more than ever expected to leave. The former LOSC player lost his status under the orders of Paulo Fonseca who does not consider him an indisputable starter. This is why rumors around FC Barcelona are gaining momentum again. The Catalan media Sport indicated this week that Rafael Leão dreamed of signing for Barça. In the event of an offer from the Blaugrana, the Portuguese international would not hesitate for a single second.
However, the current leader of La Liga will not have free rein on this issue. According to the Spanish media TransfersBarça will face competition from Paris Saint-Germain. There is a lot of talk about the possible recruitment of a pure center forward at the capital club. But this winter, the reigning French champion can also afford a left winger intended to compete with Bradley Barcola. And like the Georgian international Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, priority of the last summer transfer window, Rafael Leão corresponds to the profile sought by advisor Luis Campos who had already recruited him for LOSC in 2018.
PSG better armed
The leader can represent an advantage for Paris Saint-Germain, as can the financial power of Qatar. We will indeed have to put our hands in our pockets given that AC Milan would demand between 80 and 90 million euros for their winger under contract until 2028. Even if they have just signed a very lucrative partnership with their equipment supplier Nike, Barça will surely have difficulty carrying out such an operation.
