Man United target Portugal star Rafael Leao in blockbuster £60 million swoop

Manchester United have reportedly added another exciting attacking name to their transfer shortlist ahead of a pivotal summer window.

According to The Daily Mail, Man United are interested in signing AC Milan star Rafael Leao.

Milan are believed to be open to offers as they look to balance their finances and could be willing to sell for around £60 million.

However, United are likely to face fierce competition, with Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester City all monitoring the situation closely.

The 26-year-old has enjoyed a solid campaign, scoring nine goals and providing three assists in Serie A this season.

United should not overpay for Rafael Leao

United are desperate to strengthen the left wing after selling Alejandro Garnacho and Antony in 2025.

Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are also expected to leave permanently this summer.

Recruiting new wide players is seen as a top priority, but INEOS are believed to prefer versatile options who can operate across multiple positions.

Leao is a natural left-winger by trade, but he is also capable of playing as a central striker.

He could add valuable depth and quality to the squad, especially with United looking increasingly likely to secure UEFA Champions League football.

Leao has scored 80 goals over the last seven seasons for Milan. He is a crucial player for Portugal and could play a big role at the World Cup.

Despite his obvious talent, United should be cautious about paying a premium fee.

The step up from Serie A to the Premier League can be significant.

He will turn 27 in just two months, meaning INEOS may have limited resale value if he struggles to adapt to English football.
