, an AC Milan forward, is apparently a target for Liverpool and Real Madrid.
Both European teams are reportedly interested in the 24-year-old Portuguese international and could attempt to make a deal in the summer, according to a report from Fichajes.
It comes as no surprise that Liverpool is eager to sign a talented attacker, especially given the uncertainty surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future.
During the summer transfer window, the 31-year-old Egyptian was strongly connected with a move to Saudi Arabia, but the Reds were able to keep him. At the end of the season, those teams will probably come back for Salah, and Liverpool may be willing to let him go in the summer.
At the end of this season, he will only have one year remaining on his deal, and the Reds won’t want to lose him on a free transfer in the summer of 2025. At the end of the season, if they accept a sizable offer for Salah, they will need to find a suitable replacement.
If Liverpool can sign Leao, the Premier League team’s offense will gain speed, flair, and goals. Similar to this, Real Madrid must add more attacking players now that Karim Benzema has left the team.
The €150 million attacker for AC Milan has a deal with the Italian team through the summer of 2028.
It would be intriguing to see which of the two teams is prepared to spend that much money to sign the Portuguese international.
Leao managed to score 16 goals last season across all competitions and is versatile enough to play on both flanks.
