Rafael Leao is back on the bench for Milan and his possible arrival at Barça is gaining momentum

Rafael Leao's soap opera at AC Milan is in full swing. The Portuguese was once again a substitute in the Rossoneri's hard-fought victory over Monza (1-0) and has now played three consecutive games as a substitute in Serie A. Paulo Fonseca seems to have lost confidence in the player and the relationship between the two is practically broken despite the coach having commented that "there is no conflict" with the '10'.

However, this situation has triggered rumours about the possible departure of the striker, with FC Barcelona being one of the teams most interested in taking advantage of Leao's discontent. The Catalans already tried to sign the winger last summer but the lack of room for 'fair play' truncated his possible arrival at the club, although in the next transfer market the scenario could be different.

Jorge Mendes has the 'key' to the operation

Leao's agent, Jorge Mendes, would be the key to the attacker's incorporation into Hansi Flick's team. The player has already told him to start looking for solutions for January if his situation at San Siro does not change, and the agent's good relationship with Joan Laporta could clear the way for him to land in Barcelona, ​​as reported in 'Mundo Deportivo'.

At Can Barça they would look very favourably on the signing of a footballer who is very much liked by the sports management for his talent and ability to overflow. At the moment there are no major moves, but the truth is that the Catalans are following the 'soap opera' very closely and are on the lookout in case his possible signing becomes a 'goal'.
