Ferran and €40M: Milan's plan to let Leao go to Barça.

FC BARCELONA NEWS Cover for Saturday, March 1, 2025: AC Milan could give the green light for Rafael Leao's departure to FC Barcelona if the culés include one of their forwards in the operation. Both Deco and Hansi Flick see the Milan '10' as an ideal player for the ultra-offensive culé scheme, but the financial aspirations of his club complicate the negotiation. Initially, Milan expects to receive a figure close to 100 million euros for Rafa, an amount that Barcelona is not willing to pay.

However, including Ferran in the operation could significantly reduce the cost. Milan's idea is to incorporate the Valencian along with another €40 million to let the Portuguese forward go. Barça has valued Torres at around 30-35 million, making it a beneficial swap for the azulgrana finances, as long as the '7' agrees to leave.
