The famous player agent, Jorge Mendes, is working to make Rafael Leao a big star at Barcelona and plans to take advantage of the recent tensions the Portuguese player is experiencing at Milan, in an attempt to negotiate his transfer to the “Blaugrana” during the winter transfer window.
The relationship between Leao and his coach, Paulo Fonseca, has deteriorated significantly this season, which has led the left winger to lose his starting position and reconsider his future with the Italian club.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional”, no one at Barcelona has missed this opportunity, as the club president, Joan Laporta, supports the idea of signing the player, provided the price is reasonable.
Both Deco, the sporting director at Barcelona, and coach Hansi Flick, consider Leao to be an ideal addition to the left side of the team due to his dribbling skills, physical strength, and creativity, all of which perfectly align with Barcelona’s style of play. His presence in the team could be a strong reinforcement for the attack.
Although he sometimes shows inconsistency, Leao, at his best, displays great potential, as he demonstrated in Milan’s matches, where he was able to change the course of the game against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Mendes is determined to turn this opportunity into a significant move that could have a big impact on Barcelona, with Deco already working to pave the way for Leao’s transfer in January.
