The Barcelona is betting everything on Leao to conclude its transfer market. Milan considers him non-transferable, but the blaugrana rely on Mendes to initiate negotiations.
The Barcelona is ready to make a big offer for Rafa Leao: it is the latest idea of the blaugrana, who are searching for a profile for the attack that has not yet arrived in this summer transfer market. Milan will not be an easy client to negotiate with, especially because the transfer window will close in ten days, but the Catalan club has a very powerful ally that could turn what seems only a utopia into reality.
Barcelona on Leao
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Portuguese player is the number one target for Barcelona, even though there are currently no conditions for the deal to be successfully completed. Leao is tied to Milan until 2028 and is valued at around 100 million euros, a figure that the blaugrana currently cannot invest. However, they have some very interesting technical counterparts that could significantly lower the transfer fee and make the transfer simpler.
At Camp Nou, indeed, the surplus players are numerous, starting with key players like Raphinha and Ferran Torres who could be starters in several teams across Europe. No concrete proposal has yet reached Milan, but there is a factor that could change everything and accelerate the operation.
Leao is not moving from Milan, Barcelona is a false lead and Furlani raises his voice: “Have I been clear?”
The Jorge Mendes card
The agent’s presence could be the winning card for Barcelona. Jorge Mendes has completed very difficult negotiations, and once again his help is requested to close a deal that would have a very high media impact, capable of reviving Barça after a negative season and increasing expectations. Only he can ensure that Leao leaves Milan, perhaps by inserting within the operation the signing of one of his clients in the blaugrana jersey.
This is the only hope for Barcelona, but at the moment nothing is moving, and obviously Milan does not seem inclined to let him go, as they consider him non-transferable. If everything falls through, then attention would shift to Federico Chiesa, a surplus player from Juventus who has already entered the radar of La Liga.
