Barcelona is closely monitoring the future AC Milan go ahead Rafael Leaowho was linked with a move last summer but was declared “unsellable” by the Rossoneri. However, this season did not plan for the Portuguese winger.
In contrast to coach Paulo Fonseca, Leao did not start their big game against Napoli at the weekend, in which they fell to a 2-0 defeat. This season, Leao has been tipped to be the big star for Milan, but with his current form, his asking price will drop, or so they believe in Catalonia. Sport say that Barcelona is still looking for left-wings for next season, and if Leao is available at a reasonable price, they are interested.
Barcelona will let Ansu Fati and his agent Jorge Mendes decide what to do in January. If they want a loan, Barça will make things easier. @sport

The sports director Deco and the manager Hansi Flick feel that he is a differential player, and if he was able to come at the right price, it is a deal that they will consider. The Blaugrana have already contacted Jorge Mendes this summer about Leao, who is not their representative but has a say in his future, but the asking price is currently too high.
It seems strange that, with Raphinha finally firing on all cylinders, Barcelona would consider looking to sign a player in the position where they play for money. The Brazilian has contributed 17 goals in 14 games so far, figures that Leao has never approached, even if he is two years younger.
