Marca: Barcelona s hope of introducing Leo is shattered, and will continue to advance Dias and Rashford

According to Le Marca, Barcelona has listed Portugal international Leo as one of the candidates to consider in the search for a winger next season. Although on the priority list, Louis Dias, Rashford, and Nico Williams, who has been excluded, are ranked first.

Leo has always been the object highly recommended by agent Mendes. Barcelona chairman Laporta has also been quite interested in the AC Milan player. However, this recruitment path is basically blocked. AC Milan's new coach Allegri made it clear at the press conference that the team will not let Leo go: "Leo is an extraordinary player, and I am sure he will have a great season."

Allegri also added: "In fact, the most critical period in a player's career is between the ages of 26 and 30." Leo, currently 26, is at the golden age. Considering his ups and downs in performance and attitude last season, Barcelona's interest in him has already declined.

Sports Director Deco will continue to advance the two original goals: Louis Dias and Rashford. Barcelona is waiting for Dias to communicate his willingness to leave the team with the Liverpool coach; as for Rashford, it needs to negotiate with Manchester United on its possible transfer methods. Nico Williams' plan has been ruled out, and Leo has basically withdrawn from the signing list, and Barcelona will focus on the remaining two major goals.
