Arsenal submits offer for Rafael Leao from AC Milan

Arsenal has tabled an offer for AC Milan winger Rafael Leao as the Portuguese international explores a summer exit.

AC Milan striker Rafael Leao is weighing options after the club confirmed his availability following contract talks breakdown. Arsenal’s bid, reported to be competitive, accelerates Leao’s potential transfer.

Leao, 26, has scored 13 goals in 34 Serie A appearances this season. His contract with AC Milan expires in 2027, prompting the club to seek a deal before the window closes.

AC Milan sporting director Atalanta Marotta emphasized urgency, stating the club must act to retain value. Arsenal’s interest adds pressure to finalize a transfer before the window.

Leao previously scored 15 league goals for Lille in 2020-21 before joining AC Milan. His pace and left-footed finishing make him a priority target for European clubs.

A decision is expected before the Premier League’s summer transfer window closes.
