Manchester United are reportedly preparing to send an offer of £60 million to Italian giants, AC Milan.
Manchester United’s summer transfer window so far has been heavily focused around strengthening their attacking options in a bid to become ruthless in attack next season.
With the deal for Matheus Cunha already over the line, Manchester United have been consistently attempting to land Brentford forward, Bryan Mbuemo.
After their initial bid was rejected by Brentford, Manchester United submitted a second bid which has hit some what of a road block in recent days. However, Mbuemo is still expected to be a Manchester United player come the beginning of the season after expressing he only wants to join United.
After a disastrous 2024/25 season which seen Manchester United finish in 15th place, Ruben Amorim will be hoping to get several more deals over the line before the new season creeps up on him.
With or without reinforcements it seems the pressure will begin to build on Ruben Amorim with The Red Army expecting big things from his side next season.
With the Mbuemo deal seemingly a struggle for United, the Red Devils have turned their attentions towards a new forward who could potentially play anywhere across Manchester United’s front three.
According to Caught Offside, Manchester United are poised to submit an offer of around £60 million for Portuguese forward, Rafael Leao.
The player, seen as one of the world’s best, has a substantial release clause of £150 million in his contract, but it has been reported the Italian giants are prepared to negotiate closer to the £68 – 85 million mark.
Leao has proven to be a significant player for AC Milan in recent years, last season alone he managed a total of 23 goal contributions in 51 games.
If Manchester United are going to make an official bid they must act quick, as the likes of Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal have all been linked with a move for the pacy forward.
Ruben Amorim and Manchester United fans will be hoping the lack of European football does not deter the Portuguese man’s interests and the Reds can secure one of Europe’s best attacking talents.
