Liverpool has reportedly initiated contact with AC Milan regarding the potential summer transfer of Rafael Leao, against a backdrop of swirling rumors concerning the Anfield futures of Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo.

Since then, he has clinched the Serie A title contributing to an impressive tally of 70 goals and 62 assists across 270 appearances.
Adding to the intrigue, a recent statement shared by Gazzetta dello Sport in 2023 shows Leao's openness to the prospect, having expressed his affinity for the Premier League: "Premier League.
Rafael Leao has been linked with a move to Liverpool.
Serie A is currently very well positioned in the football world but I would definitely have to say the Premier League in the future."

Meanwhile, Liverpool's primary focus remains on securing a deal for Florian Wirtz, with ongoing negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen after an initial offer was rejected.
It appears highly unlikely Liverpool would be able to afford both Wirtz and Leao this summer, unless it was to receive a substantial offer for one of its current players.
The Premier League champions also remain interested in Bournemouth left back Milos Kerkez, with the Cherries having had a bid rejected for a possible replacement this week.
