At least that is what the Portuguese winger hopes, who insists to his agent, Jorge Mendes, to resolve his departure from AC Milan in the summer market as soon as possible.<\/p>  <p>The &#8216;rossoneri&#8217; team hopes to start a solid sports project with Massimiliano Allegri on the bench, but will not play European competitions in 25\/26 and Leao, who has a contract until 2028, believes that this is the ideal time to leave San Siro, where <strong>he has 70 goals and 62 assists in 260 official matches<\/strong>.<\/p>  <p>Rafa arrived at Milan in 2019 from Lille, being a complete unknown. The Almada native, however, has become one of the most lethal left wingers in Europe, with remarkable power and punch, <strong>although his performance is quite irregular<\/strong> mainly due to his character and poor relationship with the latest Milan coaches.&nbsp;<\/p>  <h2>How much would Bar\u00e7a have to pay for Rafael Leao?<\/h2>  <p>In that sense, <a data-external=\"0\" data-intl-links-en=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/en\/transfers\/leao-moves-away-from-barca-doubts-high-price-and-competition_313019_102.html\" data-intl-links-es=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/fichajes\/rafael-leao-barcelona-fichaje-dudas-precio-competencia_313019_102.html\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/en\/transfers\/leao-moves-away-from-barca-doubts-high-price-and-competition_313019_102.html\" rel=\"follow\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Rafael Le\u00e3o pierde fuerza en la agenda del Bar\u00e7a por estas razones\">Bar\u00e7a had already ruled out his signing<\/a>, but the fiasco of the &#8216;Nico Williams operation&#8217; radically changes the scenario. The latest information indicates that the &#8216;rossoneri&#8217; team could give the green light to a transfer in the order of 75-80 million euros, although Leao&#8217;s termination clause is 150 &#8216;kilos&#8217;.<\/p>  <p>Bar\u00e7a, for the moment, does not have that amount in its coffers. In addition, the salary of the Milan &#8217;10&#8217; (around 6.5 M\u20ac net) will not be easy to fit into a team that still has to resolve <strong>the departure of at least five more players<\/strong>, including Ter Stegen and Andreas Christensen.<\/p>  <p>Deco is also doing everything possible to reduce the gap between Liverpool&#8217;s economic aspirations and the azulgrana&#8217;s economic capacity for the transfer of <a data-external=\"0\" data-intl-links-en=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/en\/tags\/luis-diaz\" data-intl-links-es=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/tags\/luis-diaz\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/en\/tags\/luis-diaz.html\" rel=\"follow\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Luis D\u00edaz - Lo \u00faltimo sobre el delantero del Liverpool\">Luis D\u00edaz<\/a>.
