12 G/A star cleared to move for £60m: Man United & Liverpool on alert for bargain transfer
Manchester United and Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs exploring a potential transfer for AC Milan forward Rafael Leao this summer.
The Portugal international is having another strong season at the San Siro, contributing nine goals and three assists in total, and it seems he could be on the move in the near future.
Man Utd and Liverpool are looking into this opportunity as the Daily Mail claim Milan could let Leao go for just £60m, which is viewed as a potential bargain on the market.

Leao has also recently been linked with Arsenal in a report from Football Transfers, and one imagines his situation will surely have clubs all over the world on alert.
Rafael Leao transfer talk hots up
Leao is an important player for Milan and surely someone they’d ideally like to keep, but with two years remaining on his contract, his value could soon start to go down.
See below as Fabrizio Romano recently quoted Rossoneri chief Igli Tare as playing down talk of the 26-year-old leaving, but perhaps the situation has now changed…

If Leao won’t sign a new deal, then this summer could be Milan’s last chance to make significant money from letting him go.
It seems Leao has also had some injury troubles, so that’s another factor for the Serie A giants to consider in the months ahead, as there’s not much use in keeping someone if they’re not going to be available often enough, no matter how good they are.
Rafael Leao could strengthen United and Liverpool
On his day, Leao is a superb attacking talent who can operate out wide or up front, so it’s easy to imagine him having a big impact at clubs like United or Liverpool.
The former Lille man could be ideal to help LFC replace Mohamed Salah, who will be leaving this summer, and he’d be cheaper than some of the other options out there.
Leao could also possibly do a better job than Matheus Cunha at MUFC, adding more options to the team’s attack as Marcus Rashford will surely leave permanently after going out on loan this season and last.
