Report: Bayern Munich “not hot” for AC Milan’s Rafael Leão due to cost
Posted Thursday, June 05, 2025 by bavarianfootballworks.com
According to a report from Tobi Altschaffl (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich likes AC Milan winger Rafael Leao, but his price tag is just too high:
In addition to Christoph Freund, Max Eberl is being supported by chief scout Nils Schmadtke. The latter is considered internally an advocate of a Rafael Leao transfer. Bayern have held talks with the management of the player, but the topic is not 'hot'. In addition, Milan are said to be demanding at least €100m, too expensive for Bayern.
Meanwhile, Sky Sport journalist Luca Marchetti (via @iMiaSanMia) says that AC Milan really is not inclined to sell Leao anyway:
Bayern are interested in signing Rafael Leao and would ideally like to strike a deal before the Club World Cup. Milan, however, consider him unsellable and an integral part of Max Allegri's plans. That stance would only change in the event of an astronomical offer of around €120-130m.
Italian journalist Matteo Moretto (via @iMiaSanMia), back up Marchetti's report:
We received confirmation on Bayern's interest in Rafael Leao. But Milan are unwilling to let him go as he's a fundamental piece. We'll see how this story will develop, but it's fair to say that Bayern are very attentive to Leao's situation.
Finally, Calciomercato's Daniele Longo (via @iMiaSanMia) concurred as well:
Milan's decisions regarding their big name players: Theo Hernandez and Tijjani Reijnders to be sold. Rafael Leao and Mike Maignan to stay, barring 'off-market' (huge) offers.
So...what does all of that mean? Well, barring an astronomical offer from Bayern Munich to AC Milan for Leao, it does not appear as if a move is likely.
