Rafael Leão, 27, has indicated this summer that he is ready for a new challenge, with the Premier League and La Liga mentioned as his preferred destinations. AC Milan no longer considers the player unsellable and is reportedly ready to lower the price to around 60 million euros. The club seeks to offload his high salary and does not plan to extend his contract, which runs until 2028. So far, Benfica and Galatasaray have shown the most concrete interest in the Portuguese international, who has 49 caps and 6 goals for his country.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Leão was also offered to Tottenham by his intermediaries, but the club under Roberto De Zerbi is not particularly interested. Milan's new coach, Ruben Amorim, has stated that he sees Christian Pulišić's ideal position on the left wing, a role Leão has occupied. Reports from July 2026 state AC Milan's asking price for the player is between €60 million and €70 million, while reports in June 2026 mentioned Galatasaray was aiming for a €30-€40 million fee. The player's current Transfermarkt market value is €50.00m.
