Liverpool is reportedly considering a summer move for AC Milan's Rafael Leão as they prepare for a significant squad overhaul. Could he be the perfect fit for the Reds?
Liverpool is gearing up for a busy summer transfer window, especially with the impending departure of Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian superstar is set to leave Anfield at the end of the current season, prompting the Reds to explore new attacking options.
One name that has surfaced is Rafael Leão, the dynamic forward from AC Milan. According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool is among several top clubs, including Real Madrid and both Manchester clubs, interested in the Portuguese international. Milan is reportedly open to offers for Leão, who could be available for around £60 million as they look to meet financial regulations.
Leão, 26, has two years left on his contract with the Rossoneri. His impressive performances this season include 10 goals in 27 matches, making him a valuable asset in the transfer market. He’s been described as ‘magic in motion’ by Portuguese outlet A Bola, showcasing his strength, technique, and ball control.
Statistically, Leão ranks among the top performers in Serie A for key metrics. He averages 0.49 goals per 90 minutes, placing him in the 85th percentile among his positional peers. His expected goals (xG) stands at 0.53, also in the 88th percentile, indicating his ability to find scoring opportunities. With a pass completion rate of 83.6%, he’s not just a scorer but also a creator, making him a well-rounded forward.
As Liverpool looks to rebuild, Leão could be a sensible investment. His versatility and experience, with nearly 300 appearances for Milan, make him a strong candidate to fill the void left by Salah. The Reds have already made initial inquiries about his situation, and it will be interesting to see how this potential transfer unfolds.
