Manchester United explores transfer options for Rafael Leao from AC Milan
Summary

Manchester United is considering a transfer for AC Milan's Rafael Leao after contacting his camp regarding a potential deal. Leao, who has scored 80 goals in 291 appearances for Milan, may leave after clashes with coaching staff and a contract set to expire in 2028. AC Milan reportedly seeks a fee between €50-60 million, significantly lower than his €175 million release clause. United aims to bolster their squad ahead of a return to the Champions League, alongside other clubs like Galatasaray and Bayern Munich expressing interest. Leao has indicated a preference for a move to England, particularly due to his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo, although a formal offer from United remains uncertain.
