The rejection of Nico Williams by FC Barcelona has forced the Blaugrana's sports management to reactivate the search for a top-level winger. Deco had already indicated that strengthening that position was a priority for the club, but the setback with the Spanish international has triggered a new exploration of options that, for now, lacks a clear favorite. Names like Luis Díaz or Marcus Rashford are being strongly considered, but they are not the only ones on the list.
In recent hours, an old target for Barça has regained prominence: Rafael Leao. The Portuguese attacker from AC Milan, represented by Jorge Mendes, was already on the Blaugrana's radar last summer, although at that time the club's delicate financial situation prevented progress in his signing. Today, the economic context has improved, and the name of the Portuguese player resurfaces strongly at the Camp Nou offices.
Milan is willing to negotiate for Leao
According to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Milan does not completely rule out a possible departure of Leao, as long as an offer around 85 million euros is made. Although the Italian club states its intention to keep the player, that amount would be enough to initiate negotiations.
Despite the current good relationship between Leao and coach Massimiliano Allegri, it is not ruled out that the forward may seek a more competitive destination, especially after a season in which Milan missed out on European competitions.
