Main Body

Rafael Leao is 26 years old. He has played for AC Milan for seven years. This season he plays in a different position. He plays as a centre-forward, not as a left winger.

Others say £42 million. AC Milan is ready to sell him. Manchester United may sell some of their own players too. For example, Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund, and Jadon Sancho may leave.

Conclusion

The situation is still early. Manchester United and Barcelona are interested. No big talks yet. AC Milan will listen to offers. The price is about £40 to £42 million. This story will grow in the summer.
