The AC Milan winger has reportedly caught the attention of the Reds as the 26-year-old’s future at the San Siro looks increasingly uncertain.According to a report from the Daily Mail, Liverpool are among a host of elite European clubs monitoring the situation closely, with Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid all also said to be keeping tabs on the winger. The level of interest alone tells you something – when four clubs of that calibre are circling, there’s usually fire behind the smoke.As for the price, it is claimed that interested parties could get him for around £60 million this summer, a price that has been dubbed as “excellent” market value.With two years left on his deal with the Rossoneri, it’s suggested that the Italian giants will have to decide on whether to cash in on the 26-year-old in order to strengthen their squad.It’s far from the first time the club has been linked to the Portuguese international, with the Reds reportedly passing on an opportunity to sign him last summer.

Leao’s numbers this season are serviceable rather than spectacular – 10 goals and 2 assists across all competitions in 28 appearances.Over his seven years at the club, Leao has racked up 80 goals and 65 assists in 290 competitive appearances — numbers that, combined with his age and contract situation, make the £60 million valuation look like a bargain on paper.With the FIFA World Cup 2026 on the horizon, Leao will be keen to hit form for Portugal — and a summer move to a bigger stage could be exactly the reset he needs. For Liverpool, a left-sided attacker at €50m, with World Cup motivation and proven quality at the highest level, is the kind of profile that’s hard to ignore.Whether Arne Slot’s side move beyond monitoring to making concrete contact remains to be seen.
