Barcelona continue to evaluate options to bolster their attack and have contacted AC Milan to request information regarding winger Rafael Leao. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian club is open to offers and is prepared to part ways with the 27-year-old Portuguese international for €60 million.
The move comes as new head coach Ruben Amorim reportedly does not consider Leao part of his plans for the upcoming season. The forward made 31 appearances across all competitions last season, recording ten goals and three assists.
For Barcelona, this pursuit is currently not a top priority, as the club has already secured the signing of Anthony Gordon. Their primary objective remains the acquisition of forward Julian Alvarez; however, the possibility of signing Leao remains on the table should the deal for the striker fall through.
