Bayern targets Leo, Milan has a price of over 130 million euros, and fans are protesting to accelerate the departure of the ace?

Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich has set AC Milan forward ace Rafael Leo as the number one target in the transfer market this summer! According to authoritative media Sports Illustrated and multiple sources, after missing Leverkusen star Florian Werz (the latter close to joining Liverpool), the Bayern recruiting team led by new coach Kompany quickly adjusted its direction and listed the Portuguese international winger as a priority candidate for strengthening the attack line.

Leo, 24, has grown into one of the most threatening attackers in European football in recent seasons. Although AC Milan's overall record declined after winning the Serie A in 2022 and suffered the worst eighth place in the league this season and missed the European competition next season, Leo's personal performance has always been dazzling. This season, he continued his stable and efficient output, contributing 12 goals and 11 assists in various competitions, achieving double ten data of "goals + assists" for the fourth consecutive season. His continuous breakthrough ability and creativity are eye-catching. Such an outstanding performance is the key to attracting Bayern to buy heavily.

However, this potential blockbuster deal faces multiple obstacles. The primary difficulty is AC Milan's high asking price. According to Italian media reports, the Ross and Blacks priced Leo for more than 130 million euros (about 1.07 billion yuan). With such a sky-high price and time constraints (the New World Club Cup will start in June), it is still unknown whether the agreement can be reached quickly after the summer window is opened.

Leo's future is even clouded by the violent turmoil inside the Milan club. Last Friday, the club officially announced the appointment of Masimiliano Allegri as the new head coach, the team's third official head coach in less than 12 months. Allegri took over a team with a low morale, missed European competition, suffered a loss of income, and was facing strong resistance from fans.

Fans protested to become the last straw that broke the camel's back? In the final game of Serie A this season (AC Milan's home game against Monza), the Milan loyal fan organization staged a very impactful protest in the South Stand. About 5,000 fans marched from the club headquarters to the San Siro Stadium before the game, and clearly posed a slogan of "Go Home" through carefully organized stands during the game, pointing directly at the club owner RedBird Capital. It is worth noting that Leo did not start in this game. Sitting on the bench, he witnessed the scene full of anger and despair in the stands.

As the team's core and absolute thigh in recent years, Leo is deeply loved by Milan fans. If this forward ace chooses to leave the team at such a storm, it will undoubtedly further intensify the confrontation between fans and senior management, making Milanello, which is already cloudy, worsen. Will Bayern's strong intervention become the last straw that crushes the Red and Black Legion? Leo's future has become one of the biggest suspense in the European football transfer market this summer.
