Milan view Antonio Nusa as a replacement for Rafael Leao | OneFootball

Milan have identified RB Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa as a primary candidate to replace Rafael Leão, as the club begins to plan for a potential overhaul of their attacking department.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, significant uncertainties remain regarding the Rossoneri frontline for next season. The ongoing struggles of Leão are a central factor in these doubts, and should the Portuguese winger depart the San Siro this summer, the management is prepared to move for Nusa. The Norwegian international recently caught the eye of Italian scouts with an impressive performance against the Azzurri in the World Cup qualifiers.

While manager Max Allegri is hesitant to overhaul his current tactical setup, there is a strong belief within the club that Nusa’s versatility would be a major asset.

His ability to adapt to different roles across the attack is seen as a way to provide the squad with more tactical flexibility. As Milan weigh the future of their star winger, Nusa has emerged as the leading profile to refresh the side’s offensive options.
