Liverpool are planning a €120 million deal for Rafael Leao.

Liverpool is said to be keen on acquiring 26-year-old Portuguese international Rafael Leao from AC Milan.

According to a report from the Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool is planning a €120 million move to secure their star attacker Rafael Leao from AC Milan.

The Portuguese international has previously been associated with a transfer to the Premier League, and recent reports indicate that he is also a target for Arsenal and Chelsea. There is no denying that Leao is a top-tier player, although he can be somewhat inconsistent. This inconsistency might be a significant factor in why he has yet to join a top club.

It will be intriguing to see if Liverpool is willing to take a risk on him. If the Portuguese international can resolve the inconsistencies in his performance, he could prove to be a valuable asset for Liverpool. It is well-known that they are in need of more quality on the wings.

The Reds have faced challenges since Luis Diaz's departure. The 26-year-old could bring a fresh dynamic to the attacking lineup. He has the ability to take on defenders and succeed in one-on-one situations. He would inject energy and unpredictability into the Liverpool offense. Leao is also adaptable enough to play anywhere in the front three. He could be the perfect addition for Liverpool.

Can Liverpool secure Leao's signature?

Convincing the AC Milan forward to join Anfield shouldn't pose a challenge for the Premier League champions, and it will be intriguing to see if they can finalize a deal with AC Milan. A sum of €120 million is substantial, and it remains uncertain whether Liverpool is truly willing to invest that amount.

If they present an attractive offer, the Rossoneri might be inclined to sell. The 26-year-old aims to establish himself at the top level if he successfully transitions to the Premier League. How this situation develops is yet to be determined.

For the time being, Liverpool needs to concentrate on getting their season back on track. The Reds find themselves in mid-table after a dismal start to the Premier League season. They have suffered nine losses in their last 12 matches across all competitions, and a club of their caliber should be performing significantly better.
