From Spain: Barcelona have one condition to sign Leao amid Milan struggles | OneFootball

Spanish newspaper Sport claims Barcelona remain interested in Rafael Leao, but the Catalans would buy the Portuguese next summer only if Milan lower their transfer demands.

Leao is having a tough time at Milan and started the last two Serie A games on the bench. Although he hasn’t openly clashed with coach Paulo Fonseca, it is clear that the rapport between the Portuguese pair isn’t ideal.

According to Spanish newspaper Sport, Barcelona are watching the situation, hoping that it will force Milan to lower their transfer demands next summer.

From Spain: Barcelona have one condition to sign Leao amid Milan struggles

The La Liga giants sounded out Leao’s availability during the latest transfer window, but Milan said he was unsellable unless the Catalans paid his €175m clause.

According to the report, Jorge Mendes was behind the possible deal and remains a crucial figure despite not formally representing the player.

Sport claims that Leao is ‘tired’ of his situation in Milan and that his price tag is naturally dropping due to his issues in San Siro.

Barcelona have prioritised the purchase of a left winger in 2025 and are waiting to see if they can have an opportunity to sign the Portuguese star next summer for an affordable fee.
