The future of Portuguese star Rafael Leão at AC Milan has become a major interest for Arsenal, according to the "CaughtOffside" website, which confirmed that the London club sees Leão as a key player to strengthen the left wing of the team.

The report clarified that AC Milan is satisfied with Leão's performance under the management of Massimiliano Allegri, but his future remains open, with several major clubs, notably Arsenal, keeping an eye on him ahead of the 2026 season.

Leão, who is 26 years old, is an influential player at Milan and one of the standout stars in Serie A, having scored five goals and provided one assist in eight matches this season, reflecting his potential that has attracted the interest of Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal believes that Leão's ability to penetrate defenses and create individual opportunities will add attacking dynamism to the left wing and complement Bukayo Saka's role on the opposite side, while it is said that the player is open to moving to the Premier League to face a new challenge.

Despite Arsenal's interest, Milan remains keen on the player and is preparing to offer a new two- or three-year contract with improved financial terms to ensure his continuity beyond 2028; however, the club may consider selling him if an exceptional financial offer arrives.
