Overview
- AC Milan intensified talks with Robert Lewandowski’s camp on Thursday, with multiple outlets reporting the club presented a project that would require the striker to take a large pay cut from his Barcelona salary.
- A fresh Italian report says Lewandowski has offered himself to Milan and views the move favorably compared with MLS and Saudi options, though his wages remain the main obstacle.
- Reports in Italy and Spain say Rafael Leão has been offered to top clubs for about €50 million, and Barcelona are aware of his availability but have not moved while they decide on Marcus Rashford’s future.
- La Gazzetta dello Sport and others report Milan are preparing a three‑year contract worth about €5 million per season for free‑agent Leon Goretzka, although rival Serie A sides and Premier League clubs are also in the race and the player’s bonuses and salary expectations are high.
- Sources link a possible Leão sale to Milan’s striker plans, with the fee and saved wages seen as a way to create room for a veteran goalscorer like Lewandowski under the club’s tighter pay structure.
