AC Milan Star Considers Barcelona Switch as PSG Interest Lingers
The UEFA Champions League has highlighted Paris Saint-Germain’s struggles with scoring. While Luis Enrique’s team can create opportunities, their finishing remains a key issue.
This challenge has led to speculation linking PSG to several attacking options for 2025, and the rumors could intensify if they fail to advance to the next stage of the competition.
Earlier this month, Fichajes reported that Rafael Leão has caught the attention of three major European clubs: Arsenal, Manchester United, and PSG. Meanwhile, SPORT noted that Barcelona are also keeping an eye on Leão’s situation at AC Milan.

According to Mundo Deportivo, PSG are highly interested in Leão, who’s had a turbulent season under new manager Fonseca. This could lead the Portuguese star to consider a move in 2025.
The Spanish outlet suggests the transfer could be valued at around €80 million to €90 million—an amount that wouldn’t be an issue for PSG.
Leão’s agent, Mendes, may play a key role in negotiations, especially with the reportedly tense relationship between Leão and Fonseca.
Additionally, Barcelona are also tracking the winger, as club president Laporta is eager to make a high-profile signing.
