AC Milan attacker Rafael Leo has linked his move to leave the Italian club at the end of the season, with Arsenal prioritizing his move.
According to Fichajes, Arsenal wants to sign the 25-year-old Portugal International and offers players 100 million euros (85m).
Leao has established himself as one of Italy’s best attackers and has 12 goals for his name this season. He earned 13 assists along the way. He has no doubt the quality to succeed in the Premier League. He could be an Arsenal player.
Chelsea also began contacting him to sign him.
Arsenal can use Rafael Leo
They needed depth of the sides and the 25-year-old was able to compete with Gabriel Martinelli for the starting spot. The Brazilian attacker is not at his best and his final product is lacking this season. Arsenal needs an upgrade if you want to fight for a major trophy. Plus, competition for locations is ideal. It helps both players improve, and Mikel Arteta can also spin his team.
It remains to be seen whether Milan is ready to sanction his departure in the summer. For Italian clubs, it may be difficult to turn down an offer of around 100 million euros. If they want to win the Italian League title again, they will need to rebuild their teams and the evacuation of Portuguese attackers can bring the necessary funds.
Players can make Arsenal moves flashy
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old has proven himself in Italy, and he could be open to trying new challenges. Arsenal is one of the largest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them would be difficult to refuse for him. They were able to help him grow further and fulfill his world-class potential.
The players are also linked to rival Chelsea. It would be interesting to see where he ends.
