Rafael Leao has been linked with a summer departure from AC Milan, with reports from Spain indicating fresh interest from English clubs.

Liverpool and Chelsea have now joined the pursuit of the Portuguese international, who has also attracted heavy interest from Manchester United.

The 26-year-old has made the decision to leave the Italian club, seeking a new challenge at what he considers the next stage of his career.

A move to the Premier League appears to be his preferred destination, with three of England’s biggest clubs now competing for his signature.

Leao registered 13 goal contributions this season, demonstrating his ability to make a consistent attacking impact at the highest level of European football.

He is capable of operating on either flank as well as centrally, giving potential suitors flexibility in how they could deploy him within their systems.

His physicality is considered well-suited to the demands of English football, and he would be expected to make an immediate impact upon arrival.

Liverpool and Manchester United hold an advantage over Chelsea in one key area, as both clubs can offer UEFA Champions League football next season.

At Manchester United, Leao would face competition for a starting place from Matheus Cunha, who impressed significantly throughout the past campaign.

Liverpool and Chelsea are seen as destinations where the forward would be more likely to feature regularly rather than competing for minutes from the bench.

Both clubs have identified wide players capable of providing explosive pace and attacking creativity as a priority in the current transfer window.

The 26-year-old is expected to attract further interest as the summer progresses, with his final destination likely to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
