Manchester United and Arsenal have both officially made inquiries about AC Milan's star winger Rafael Leao, who is reportedly set to leave the Italian club this summer.
The Portuguese international is known as one of Europe's most exciting attacking talents, and his potential availability has triggered a major transfer battle between two of England's biggest clubs eager to strengthen their offenses for the upcoming season.
Renowned transfer expert Nicolo Schira confirmed on X that both Premier League giants have contacted Leao's representatives to discuss the financial details of a possible transfer. Schira stated, "Manchester United and Arsenal have asked info for Rafa Leao, who is ready to leave AC Milan in the summer transfer window and would like to play in Premier League. No bids yet."
While AC Milan has not yet received formal offers from the clubs, the initial steps are being taken. Leao's apparent interest in playing in England is a significant advantage for both United and Arsenal, paving the way for internal discussions on how to assemble a deal for the dynamic forward.
Leao's readiness to depart Serie A has created a stir in the transfer market, marking him as one of the most in-demand players this summer. Although United and Arsenal have inquired, they are not the only top clubs interested; Liverpool have also shown long-term interest, and recent reports have linked Leao with Chelsea as well.
Known for his incredible speed, top-tier dribbling skills, and strong performances in crucial matches, the Portuguese forward could be a game-changing signing for any elite team.
