If you're a defender, you probably don't want Rafael Leao running at you for 90 minutes. Because he's likely to mop the floor with you or simply leave you for dead with his blistering pace more often than not. Leao is that good.
The Portuguese winger has been a nightmare to defenders in the Italian Serie A for the better part of the past four years. He's won the league once and netted 49 goals plus 44 assists in his 190 appearances. All that while being just 24 years old.
According to FootMercato, Leao has told close pals he's reached the end of a cycle in Italy and intends to move abroad to win more titles.
Barcelona might've been alerted to Leao's availability given their lack of depth on the left. Ferran Torres would rather play through the middle and Joao Felix hasn't genuinely done enough to convince Xavi and his coaching staff. Let's not forget Felix's only on loan at Barca with a price tag that would sign Leao permanently.
