The summer transfer window for FC Barcelona in 2024–2025 was quite successful. Not only did they sign versatile talent Dani Olmo, they also sold prodigy players Mika Faye and Julian Araujo. This transfers helped the team to close out the transfer window on a high note.
Though the transfer event had some benefits, they were forced to postpone a few player acquisitions because of budgetary limitations.
The Blaugrana club spent most of the summer window pursuing a high-profile left winger as one of their main reinforcements. Ultimately they were unable to finalize a deal. Barca decided to postpone a move in the summer for AC Milan star Rafael Leao and Nico Williams last window.
Reports
Reports indicate that the club hasn’t let go of Milan star Leao. Despite the fact that Club Captain Raphinha has been incredibly successful at the position thus far this season. According to recent rumors from Diario SPORT, FC Barcelona is still interested in Rafael Leao, a star for Portugal.
The Blaugrana team is reportedly keeping an eye on the left winger’s pricing in anticipation of a possible transfer. Barca believes the superstar would be interested in a move given that his relationship with Milan’s manager has been strained. Furthermore, a future transfer move might be made easier given knowledge of the player’s manager Jorge Mendes’s relationship with the team.
Nevertheless, new allegations from journalist Matteo Moretto make it quite evident that Milan would want a hefty price even though they don’t think Leao is untransferable. Given their current financial situation, FC Barcelona may find this to be a major turn-off.
Furthermore, it would be unjust for the board to consider any high-profile additions to the position at this time, given that Captain Raphinha is in the prime of his career. Because the Brazilian is eager to start a new chapter at the club, there is a good likelihood that the Blaugrana club will continue to keep an eye on Rafael Leao’s condition.
