This week, Fichajes reported that Rafael Leão is attracting interest from three European clubs: Arsenal, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain.
Although Leão is under contract with AC Milan until 2028 and has a buyout clause of €175 million, the report indicates that the Italian club might be willing to negotiate his exit for around €120 million.
PSG could bring in Leão as a winger to compete with Bradley Barcola or shift him to the right side to challenge Ousmane Dembélé.
For Manchester United, Leão could replace Marcus Rashford if they decide to sell him. Meanwhile, Arsenal is looking to bolster its attack to establish itself as a consistent contender for the Premier League title.

It will be interesting to see if PSG does take serious steps to win this race for the Portugal international. The Parisians could bolster its attack next summer to find consistent goal-scoring from the wing and No. 9.
The UEFA Champions League campaign has shown that the Parisians have serious question marks regarding its scoring threats.
