Is the dream possible? The offer that FC Barcelona would present to sign Rafa Leao

FC Barcelona continue to insist on the arrival of a left winger to complement the forward line of Hansi Flick's new project. With Federico Chiesa as a 'low cost' option in the chamber, the Catalan club will make a last attempt in the final stretch of the transfer market to sign a world star for the position, with Rafael Leao being the chosen one by Joan Laporta and the sporting management of the Catalan club.

The operation of the Portuguese is not simple since, being the top figure of AC Milan, it seems difficult for the Italian club to agree to transfer him when the summer sale is exactly one week away and they would have little room to maneuver to get a guaranteed replacement for their main reference in attack. However, the Catalans are not giving up and intend to press until the last moment to get the player's card.

In this regard, journalist José Álvarez from 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' has reported that from the offices of Spotify Camp Nou they have begun to take steps towards the possible incorporation of Leao into the ranks of the team led by Hansi Flick. The Catalans have already had contacts with the Milan board to analyse formulas that can bring the negotiations to a successful conclusion, and they would have their first offer in mind.

According to what was assured by the aforementioned source, Joan Laporta and company plan to offer a figure of 60 million euros plus a first team player to acquire the services of the Portuguese. The Blaugranas would be talking to 'Il Diavolo' with Jorge Mendes as mediator and, despite the fact that they maintain that nothing is done and that extreme caution must be taken, they would be confident of obtaining a positive result from the conversations with the transalpines.

Milan, firm in its position

Despite this, the message transmitted from San Siro is forceful. If yesterday it was the club's general manager, Giorgio Furlani, who firmly stated that there was no way that 'Rafa' would leave the 'rossoneri' squad, this Friday it was Paula Fonseca, the Milan coach, who reinforced the CEO's words. In a press conference, the coach said that "I liked our director's words about Leao. He is a fundamental player for the team", making it clear that they have no intention of letting him go. However, it is expected that next week there will be movements in this regard.
