Real Madrid to action €70 million move in order to sign PSG target. El Nacional claims that Real Madrid is interested in acquiring Rafael Leao, an attacker valued at €70 million. Leao is presently a member of the AC Milan Serie A team. The Portuguese winger has had a successful season so far with the Rossoneri.
Leao has scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists across all categories in 36 games for the Milan club this season.
According to the aforementioned report, Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, pushed the team to sign Leao last summer. But no action was taken, and the athlete remained in Italy.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is interested in signing Leao, according to a recent story from Calciomercato. Milan allegedly demanded €150 million for the player, though.
Given his ability and young age (23), the Portuguese player undoubtedly has a promising future. It remains to be seen if Los Blancos’ €70 million expenditure will be sufficient to acquire him.
The future of Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is unclear. The Italian’s present contract expires after the 2023–24 season, but he has been mentioned as a potential replacement for Tite as Brazil’s head coach.
Mauricio Pochettino, a former PSG boss, is reportedly a target for Los Blancos. Since leaving the Parisian club after the previous season, the Argentine has been without employment.
Pochettino was one of the top candidates to succeed Graham Potter as manager of Chelsea, but the Blues aren’t currently in discussions with him.
Pochettino’s potential comeback to Tottenham Hotspur has also been mentioned. Antonio Conte and Spurs recently split ways amicably. Pochettino and Julian Nagelsmann are both candidates for the position of the team’s next boss.
On the other side, this season has not seen Los Blancos at their brilliant best. The Spanish juggernauts, who are still competing in the UEFA Champions League, are currently 12 points behind Barcelona in the La Liga standings.
After the season, a managerial change could take place either way. Pochettino may or may not take over as boss in the future.
