Liverpool fans received exciting news this morning as reports emerged linking the club with a potential move for AC Milan’s Rafael Leão during the upcoming summer transfer window. Former Premier League scout Mick Brown confirmed the Reds’ interest in the Portuguese forward, stating that he fits the profile desired by new manager Arne Slot.
In an interview with *Football Insider*, Brown explained: “Leão brings explosive speed and a direct approach, which aligns well with Slot’s tactical vision. With Liverpool aiming to enhance their attacking options, Leão is firmly on the club’s radar. Don’t rule out a move—though it could require a significant investment.”
**A Boost to Liverpool’s Attack**
The 25-year-old could be a valuable addition to Liverpool’s front line, offering both versatility and productivity. Capable of playing across the front three, Leão delivered 12 goals and 13 assists last season for Milan, showcasing the kind of technical quality that could translate well to the Premier League.
Leão may even be seen as an upgrade on current forwards like Darwin Núñez or Federico Chiesa, both of whom have been subjects of transfer speculation. With uncertainty around their futures, Liverpool could prioritize bringing in a proven talent like Leão.
A move to the Premier League champions could appeal to the Portuguese international as he seeks a new challenge. However, negotiating with Milan won’t be easy—any deal will likely come with a steep price tag.
