Leeds United Targeting Rafael Leao

DBasia.news – Leeds United don’t want to just be a team that lasts a while in the Premier League. They are also eyeing the AC Milan striker, Rafael Leao.

Leeds United are one of three teams promoted to the Premier League. Some parties praise Marcelo Bielsa’s concoction in formulating tactics. Bielsa is considered to have made Leeds the dark horse of the 2020-2021 Premier League.

The management of Leeds United is aware that the current squad doesn’t quite compete with other Premier League contestants. For that, one of the ways that can be taken is by bringing in new players.

One of the players targeted for the Leeds operation was Rafael Leao. Leeds assessed that the former Lille player would be useful for the sharpness of the attack sector.

The president of Leeds, Radrizzani, has taken concrete steps to get Leao. The president asked Milan’s availability to let Leao go.

Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio thinks AC Milan has no intention of selling Leao. The Rossoneri believe that Leao is still useful for the 2020-2021 season.

Rafael Leao’s progress with AC Milan is indeed quite promising. The 21-year-old striker scored six goals plus two assists in 33 games.

Although not Stefano Pioli’s first choice, Leao often changes the course of the match. The Portuguese player is also a good duet friend for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
