Rafael Leao could say goodbye to AC Milan to move to Atletico Madrid in Spain: a major announcement arrives
The 3-1 loss to Roma at the Stadio Olimpico last weekend completely buried Milan’s chances and hopes of playing a European competition next year.

The Rossoneri, after being beaten in the Coppa Italia final by Bologna, collapsed again in that of Rome and slipped to ninth place -5 from the last slot valid for Europe that is the sixth place occupied by Lazio. It was a truly unsuccessful season for the Diavolo, who certainly cannot be satisfied with having won only the Super Cup and next year promises to be just as complicated.
Complicated by the failure to make it to Europe, Milan will have to review its market strategies and will also be forced to say goodbye to some important pawns as it tries to start a new project. Among the players who could leave the Rossoneri is Rafael Leao, who has had a truly up-and-down season, however, made up of a few highs and many lows that have aroused the ire of the fans.
If last year Milan did all it could to reject offers for the Portuguese talent, for next summer the Rossoneri are intent on listening to possible proposals. One of these could come from Spain where Atletico Madrid is reportedly following the player, as reported by journalist Orazio Accomando.
Milan, Leao può partire: il portoghese nel mirino dell’Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid seems intent on shopping in Italy next summer. In addition to having Dybala and Vlahovic in their sights, the Colchoneros have also put the name of Rafael Leao on their list to strengthen an offensive department that will be completely revolutionized next year.

Confirming Atletico Madrid’s interest in the Portuguese was DAZN’s journalist and market expert Orazio Accomando, who let it be known that the Spaniards have already made some inquiries for Leao. However, the well-known journalist pointed out that AC Milan has not received any offer for the Portuguese from Atletico, which is limited to interest at the moment.
To speak of a real negotiation therefore seems exaggerated, but in the coming weeks the Milan-Madrid axis could heat up big time. To sell Leao, Milan is asking for at least 70 million euros, but in negotiations the price could come down given the Portuguese’s lackluster season, whose rates of staying with the Rossoneri are very low.
