Manchester City is on high alert after a target likened to Thierry Henry said that he has not yet decided on his future.
After restructuring his team to rely on players like Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva on the flanks, Pep Guardiola is rumored to seek another wide forward in the summer. Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez were acquired by Manchester City last summer after the club abandoned wide players in the vein of Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus.
However, as Guardiola continues to develop his team, there are still whispers that City may buy a new attacker for the side. Numerous times, Rafael Leao has been mentioned.
Leao, who made an incredible assist for Olivier Giroud during AC Milan’s midweek match against Napoli, has now acknowledged that, despite his desire to stay at the San Siro, his future is still up in the air.
Yes, he said to Sky Sport Italia, “I want to stay here in Milan, but there are some issues to be resolved. “We’re in talks, but I’m still under contract for another year.
We’re in the semi-finals now, it’s been a terrific season, and I want to keep supporting the squad, so that’s what counts most.
As his 2024 contract expiration date approaches, the superstar attacker might be a top target for clubs like City, Arsenal, and Manchester United this summer as the Rossoneri attempt to lock him down for a long. His release clause of €150 million is looking less secure.
The Portuguese, a left-winger who can also play in the center, has in the past been compared to Thierry Henry(opens in new tab) because of his physique and dribbling skill.
Leao is valued by Transfermarkt at €80 million.
