The UEFA Champions League has highlighted Paris Saint-Germain’s struggles in front of goal. While Luis Enrique’s team can create opportunities, their finishing remains a significant issue.
This challenge has fueled speculation about PSG targeting attacking reinforcements ahead of 2025. The transfer rumors are likely to intensify if the Ligue 1 club fails to advance to the next stage of the competition.
According to Fichajes, Rafael Leão has attracted interest from three major European clubs: Arsenal, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain. Additionally, SPORT reported that Barcelona are also keeping an eye on the AC Milan forward.
Rafael Leão has no plans to move to the Premier League?
Football Transfers reports that Leão has turned down Arsenal after making an informal approach about a January move.

Last month, Mundo Deportivo reported that PSG are interested in Rafael Leão, who has experienced a mixed season under new manager Paulo Fonseca. This challenging campaign could lead the Portuguese winger to consider a move in 2025.
The Spanish outlet suggests the potential transfer could cost between €80 million and €90 million—a fee unlikely to be an issue for the Ligue 1 champions.
Leão’s agent, Jorge Mendes, may play a pivotal role in the negotiations, particularly given the reported tension between the player and Fonseca.
