This summer, a new scenario is taking shape around the Barcelona transfer window, with an unexpected offer from Italy involving two key players from the workforce of FC Barcelona and AC Milan.
Since the opening of the summer transfer window, FC Barcelona, long weakened by an important financial crisis, seems to better control its strategy thanks to clearly defined objectives. In his quest for a winger to strengthen the attack, appears the name of Rafael Leão. Even if his name had disappeared from radars a little last weeks, a detail could relaunch the file. According to several Italian sources, AC Milan is planning to propose an exchange between its Portuguese striker Rafael Leão and the Uruguayan central defender Ronald Araújo, who is a priority target of the Milanese club, driven by their new Massimiliano Allegri coach. Although Araújo recently extended his contract until 2030, a specific clause would allow Barcelona to release it at a reduced price during this summer, paving the way for a possible transfer.
Barça focused on Luis Díaz and Nico Williams
FC Barcelona, focused on the search for a left winger, considers Leão as an interesting alternative to the first options that are Luis Díaz, Nico Williams and Marcus Rashford. However, the priority given to Luis Díaz, discussions with Liverpool proved to be delicate, which pushes the Catalan management to consider other tracks. Milan's proposal, which would associate Araújo's departure when Leão's arrival, would represent a concrete solution for Barça. Nevertheless, this file remains conditioned on a failure on Luis Díaz and Nico Williams at the same time, which will surprise, because the two players seem to decide to join FC Barcelona, especially with the return of flame for Nico who has an accessible liberating clause.
