SciSports data analysis indicates that Newcastle United is one of several Premier League clubs with a strong Club Fit rating of 68 for the 26-year-old Portuguese winger, Rafael Leão. The AC Milan player, who joined the club in August 2019, could leave this summer and is not considered unsellable. It is believed that a transfer fee between €40m and €50m is a reasonable valuation, and an offer in that range would lead Milan to consider a sale. The same analysis gave a 68 rating to Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City, and Aston Villa. Gazzetta dello Sport has claimed that Leão's most likely destination is either the Premier League or the Saudi Pro League. Leão has 43 caps and 5 goals for Portugal. He has a contract with the Italian club until June 2028 and a current market value of €65.00m, according to Transfermarkt. This season, he has made 9 Serie A appearances, contributing 2 goals and 2 assists. While recent reports mention a lower fee, asking prices earlier in 2026 were between €70 million and €85 million. His contract is also reported to include a high release clause.
