Jorge Mendes offers dream star to Laporta and Hansi Flick wants player to wear No.10 shirt at Barcelona

Renowned agent Jorge Mendes is working to make Rafael Leao a key figure at Barcelona, leveraging the recent tensions between the Portuguese winger and AC Milan to facilitate a move during the winter transfer window. Leao’s relationship with Milan coach Paulo Fonseca has soured this season, causing the player to lose his starting spot and reconsider his future with the club.

According to the Spanish outlet *El Nacional*, Barcelona is keenly aware of the situation, with president Joan Laporta open to the idea of signing Leao, provided the deal is reasonable. Both sporting director Deco and head coach Hansi Flick believe Leao would be a perfect fit for Barcelona’s left wing, thanks to his dribbling, physicality, and creativity, all of which align well with the team’s style of play. His addition could strengthen Barcelona’s attacking options.

Although Leao can be inconsistent at times, his potential is undeniable, as evidenced by his game-changing performances, such as his display against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Mendes is determined to turn this opportunity into a significant transfer, with Deco already working behind the scenes to secure Leao’s move in January.
