Liverpool are reportedly eyeing a summer move for AC Milan forward Rafael Leao.
Former Premier League scout Mick Brown has suggested that the Portuguese international is a strong fit for Liverpool’s style of play, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him join the Premier League champions. Brown told Football Insider that Leao is “very direct” with “an explosive burst of pace,” making him well-suited to Arne Slot’s system. He also noted that Liverpool are keen to bolster their attacking options, and Leao is among the names being considered. Brown hinted that, despite a potentially high price tag, fans should “watch this space.”
Leao could be a significant addition for Liverpool
The Reds are looking to enhance their attacking depth and quality, and the 25-year-old would be a strong candidate. Capable of playing across the front line, Leao brings both creativity and goal-scoring ability. After a productive season with 12 goals and 13 assists, he has demonstrated his ability at the top level and possesses the technical qualities needed to thrive in the Premier League.
With speculation surrounding the futures of Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa, Liverpool may need to secure a high-caliber replacement. Leao could represent an upgrade and bring fresh energy to the squad.
The chance to play for the Premier League champions would likely appeal to Leao, and a move to England could offer the kind of challenge he’s ready for at this stage in his career. Whether Liverpool will submit a formal offer remains to be seen, but AC Milan are unlikely to let him leave without a significant transfer fee.
