AC Milan crisis opens door for Rafael Leao exit as Atletico Madrid eye shock swoop for Portuguese star

<p>According to <em>DAZN</em> journalist <a href="https://x.com/OAccomando91/status/1924412616270618771" target="_blank">Orazio Accomando</a>, Atletico Madrid have expressed their interest in signing AC Milan winger Rafael Leao. The Spanish club is reported to have made an enquiry following Milan’s failure to qualify for European competitions next season, which could force the Rossoneri to sell key players to balance the books.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Signed from Lille in 2019, Leao became a fan favourite after winning the Serie A MVP award in the 2021-22 season, playing a key role in helping AC Milan secure their 19th domestic title ahead of bitter rivals Inter. In 2023, the 25-year-old winger signed a contract extension through 2028, which included a €150 million release clause. However, amid Milan’s current crisis, Atletico Madrid could potentially secure the Portuguese international for a bargain price as they seek to shore up their attack to push for the title next season.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Leao, who holds the record for the fastest goal in Serie A history, has once again been linked with a move to Barcelona despite <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/barcelona-staff-warn-joan-laporta-against-pursuit-ac-milan-rafael-leao-work-rate-deep-block-concerns/blt257e00c95f769572" target="_self">warnings against pursuing the transfer</a>. Notably, the La Liga champions attempted to sign the Portuguese star last year, but the deal fell through due to a dearth of time.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Milan host Monza in their final game of the season. With nothing left to play for, both the team and Leao will be looking to finish on a high note. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid travel to Girona aiming to close out what has been a largely successful campaign with a win.</p>
