Premier League and Saudi Arabia battle for player who owes Sporting €45m | OneFootball

Rafael Leão is expected to leave AC Milan in this summer transfer window and already has several interested parties on the table. The Portugal international, who came through Sporting, is on Tottenham’s list at a time when there are also approaches coming from Saudi Arabia.

According to TEAMtalk, Spurs have already held initial talks with the Portuguese winger’s representatives and have started working on a possible transfer. The same source says that Rafael Leão is open to a move to the Premier League and would seriously consider joining Tottenham if the deal became possible.

In addition to the London club, Arsenal, Manchester United and Barcelona are also believed to have shown interest in the player. Competition is therefore expected to be strong, especially given Rafael Leão’s status in European football.

Fabrizio Romano reinforces that an exit from Milan is a likely scenario in this transfer window. The transfer expert adds that the player and the club understand that a move could be the best solution, but future options are only expected to be assessed after Portugal’s participation in the World Cup.

Saudi Arabia is also closely following the process and is believed to have already made approaches for the former Sporting player. Rafael Leão is therefore preparing to decide the next step in his career, with the Premier League, Barcelona and the Middle East among the possible destinations.
