Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign AC Milan forward Rafael Leao this summer, journalist Graeme Bailey has claimed.
The Europa League winners have reportedly been contacted through intermediaries over a potential move for the Portugal international, as they look to replace captain Son Heung-min, who joined LAFC.
Leao is believed to have attracted interest from several Premier League clubs but, at this stage, has no plans to depart San Siro, with head coach Massimiliano Allegri keen to keep him.
The 26-year-old winger, who joined Milan from Lille in the summer of 2019, is under contract until June 2028 with the seven-time Champions League winners.

The 26-year-old wants to stay at AC Milan
According to Bailey, Leao himself is keen to remain at Milan this summer and is ‘excited’ by the prospect of playing under Allegri.
The ‘explosive’ Portuguese winger will be aiming to recapture his best form following an underwhelming 2024/25 campaign, during which Milan finished just eighth in Serie A – their lowest result in 10 years.
Tottenham, meanwhile, are said to be in ‘desperate’ need of reinforcements to Thomas Frank’s attacking options following Son’s departure to Los Angeles FC and James Maddison’s injury.
The Lilywhites are believed to be considering several available market opportunities, including a deal for Manchester City ace Jack Grealish.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Leao registered 25 goal contributions in 50 appearances for Milan last season.
Spurs have welcomed Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha as their two most notable senior additions this summer and have also secured permanent deals for Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel.
They are believed to have made an initial phone call to explore Grealish’s situation and are among several Premier League clubs considering the Englishman.
