Real Madrid have been linked with some of the biggest names in football in recent times as it is believed that they are preparing for a big summer transfer window. Some of these names include the likes of Jude Bellingham, Josko Gvardiol and a few more. One thing that has become clear this season is that the club do not have the depth required to compete for an entire campaign, without major downturns in form.
Real Madrid could do with a few more options going forward. And in that respect, one of the best players in the world right now is Rafael Leao.
It is true that his form has been on a bit of a downturn lately. But overall, there is no question about the Portuguese international’s quality.
Leao’s best work comes from the left wing, although he is capable of playing as a second striker as well. And it looks like Real Madrid have been offered the chance to sign him.
€100 million player has been offered to Real Madrid
As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport (via GOAL), Leao’s agent Jorge Mendes has offered the player to Real Madrid, but the deal is unlikely to materialise.
While Leao is a world-class player, Real Madrid already have Vinicius Junior to play in his position. The club could do with some depth in that area but they definitely do not need both of them at the same time, if one has to inevitably sit on the bench.
Also, it is expected to take a significant transfer fee to sign Leao from AC Milan. He is believed to be rated at around €100 million.
Leao’s current deal with AC Milan runs out in the summer of 2024. And if he is available as a free agent at that point, then perhaps it would make sense for Real Madrid to try and make something happen.
