How much Manchester United need to spend to seal move for Rafael Leao | OneFootball

Manchester United mainly focused on upgrading their attack last summer, bringing in Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha. 

The trio have performed impressively this season, as the Red Devils are on the brink of securing Champions League qualification. 

While midfield will be their key focus this summer, the club’s hierarchy are also said to be keen to add a top-quality winger to the squad. 

United have identified AC Milan’s Rafael Leao as an ideal option. 

Leao was once considered an untouchable asset by the Serie A club, but now they are ready to sell him. 

According to Calciomercato, a fee between €50 and €60 million could be enough to secure a deal for the 26-year-old. 

United have reportedly initiated contact with the player’s representatives ahead of the summer window. 

An official from the Premier League club will also be present at San Siro this weekend to watch the Portugal international in action against Juventus. 

Excellent signing

Leao would be an excellent addition for Michael Carrick’s side. 

He has been consistently performing well for Milan since joining the club in 2019. 

The forward has recorded 80 goals and 65 assists in 287 appearances across all competitions, helping his side lift the Serie A title in 2022. 

Leao mainly operates as a left winger, but he can also be used as a centre-forward or a second striker. 

He is still young and is highly rated for his physicality, explosive pace, dribbling skills and finishing ability.
