Rafael Leao was not indifferent to Lamine Yamal's performance against Atlético. The Portuguese reposted a post praising the '19' amid rumors linking him to Barça

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Rafael Leao is set to be one of the protagonists of the transfer market for FC Barcelona. The blaugrana entity has prioritized the arrival of a left winger during the summer, and the Portuguese is very high on the list of potential signings for the club's sports management, as Joan Laporta is a great admirer of his football and believes he would be a top-level signing.

Moreover, the complicated situation of the player at AC Milan invites hope for his possible arrival in the Catalan City. The 'rossoneri' team is going through a very delicate sporting moment, having been eliminated from the Champions League in the round of 32 and sitting outside the European spots in Serie A, and the relationship between the player and the coach, Sérgio Conceição, is not the best, so the club would view his transfer positively at the end of the season.

Although, at first glance, it would not be a straightforward operation as Leao has a contract with the Lombard entity until 2028 and the Milanese would ask for a figure higher than 75 million euros, at Can Barça they are keeping an eye on him and do not rule out making a move for his signing in the summer transfer window if all conditions are met at the right time.

The 'wink' from Leao that excites Barça

Amid the rumors linking him to the Catalan entity, the Portuguese has made a 'wink' that shows he is following the matches of the team led by Hansi Flick. The winger was not indifferent to the recital given by Lamine Yamal in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals against Atlético de Madrid, which earned him praise from all over the football world.

One of the first to highlight the brutal performance of the youth player against the colchoneros was journalist Fabrizio Romano, who on his 'X' account posted a brief but powerful message that read "Lamine Yamal", accompanying the player's name with an icon of a magic wand.

This post was retweeted by Leao, showing the Portuguese's admiration for the star from Mataró. The Portuguese continues to send signals that clearly indicate his desire to wear the blaugrana jersey, so it will be interesting to see if his operation 'unblocks' in the coming months and the 'crack' ends up joining Lamine in the culé attack.
