Arsenal has reportedly entered the race for AC Milan star Rafael Leao, with new sporting director Andrea Berta identifying the Portuguese forward as a key target for the upcoming transfer window. According to reports in Italy, the Gunners are considering a move for Leao despite his hefty €175 million release clause.
Leao has been a standout performer for Milan, showcasing his speed, technical ability, and goal-scoring prowess. His performances have attracted interest from several top European clubs, including Chelsea, who have been monitoring his situation throughout the season. Arsenal, however, is now emerging as a serious contender, with Berta keen to strengthen the squad’s attacking options.
Milan remains firm in its stance, insisting that Leao is not for sale. However, sources suggest that a surprise offer in the region of €100 million could be enough to initiate negotiations. Arsenal’s current attacking lineup includes Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, and Raheem Sterling, but the addition of Leao would provide an extra dimension to their forward play.
With the summer transfer window approaching, Arsenal’s pursuit of Leao could become one of the most talked-about moves. Whether Milan is willing to entertain offers remains to be seen, but the Gunners appear determined to make a statement in the market.
