Liverpool have emerged as potential suitors for AC Milan forward Rafael Leão during the summer transfer window.
Former Premier League scout Mick Brown believes the Portuguese international fits the profile of what Liverpool need and wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up joining the reigning Premier League champions.
Leão could offer a major boost to Jürgen Klopp’s former side, bringing both quality and depth to their attack. The 25-year-old is known for his versatility—capable of playing on either wing or through the middle—and would provide a blend of goals, flair, and creativity. With a track record of success at Milan and strong technical ability, he appears well-suited for the demands of English football.
Leão recorded 25 goal contributions last season—12 goals and 13 assists—which could make him a significant upgrade over Darwin Núñez or Federico Chiesa, both of whom are rumored to be on their way out of Anfield. Should either player depart, Liverpool would need a high-caliber replacement, and Leão could be just that.
The chance to play for the Premier League champions would likely appeal to Leão as he considers the next step in his career. A move to England could represent a fresh challenge and a platform to prove himself at the highest level.
However, any pursuit of the Milan star may prove complicated, as the Italian club are expected to demand a hefty fee. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will formalize their interest with an official bid in the coming weeks.
