Barça eye Leão as Rashford alternative

Barcelona is exploring the possibility of signing left-winger Rafael Leão as a potential alternative to Marcus Rashford. The 27-year-old Portuguese winger was previously linked with the club during past transfer windows.

Barcelona has identified AC Milan's Rafael Leão as a potential target to strengthen their left-wing position. The 27-year-old Portuguese winger was previously linked with the Catalan club two summers ago when they were seeking reinforcements alongside Nico Williams. michezonews.co.za

Leão's name resurfaced last summer when Luis Díaz was Barcelona's primary target, but the club's financial constraints led them to secure Rashford on loan instead. Now, with the proven success of the Rashford deal, Barcelona may pursue a similar arrangement with Leão as they look for additional attacking options.
