Rafael Leao set for Milan exit as Premier League clubs circle

Rafael Leão is increasingly likely to leave AC Milan this summer, with press reporting that both the club and the Portugal international agree a separation would benefit all parties. A final decision will be made only after the 2026 World Cup, allowing Leão to focus fully on Portugal’s campaign before evaluating offers.

Saudi Pro League clubs have already made approaches, but the 27‑year‑old’s priority remains a move within Europe. After seven successful seasons in Serie A, Leão has become one of the league’s most dynamic attackers, though new Milan head coach Ruben Amorim is not expected to build his long‑term plans around him.

Valued at around €60 million, Leão is set to draw significant interest, with Premier League sides such as Manchester United and Tottenham monitoring developments. Once the World Cup concludes, the race for his signature is expected to intensify across Europe.
