Rafael Leao seems increasingly destined to leave Milan after the team\u2019s failure to qualify for the 2026-27 edition of the Champions League, and the Portugal international has gone on to reveal which Premier League sides are his \u2018favourite\u2019 heading into the summer transfer window.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leao likes Manchester United and Arsenal<\/p>\n

Leao is a former Scudetto and Serie A MVP winner and has scored 80 competitive goals across his seven seasons with the Rossoneri. But, following a difficult 2025-26 campaign in which he and his teammates missed out on Champions League qualification, despite having spent much of the season in second place, he looks increasingly likely to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There have been suggestions that the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea or even Barcelona<\/a> could be interested in a summer deal should Leao become available. Recent reports claim that he has no desire to move to either Galatasaray or Fenerbahce,<\/a> or to the Saudi Pro League despite rumoured interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While speculation over Leao\u2019s future continues to circulate, the attacker has sat down for an interview with the Cernucci Podcast<\/a> and has spoken about his favourite Premier League sides.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah of course,\u201d he replied when asked if he watches much of the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And when asked which are his favourite teams, Leao laughed before replying: \u201cI like (Manchester) United because my idol is Cristiano Ronaldo, so back then, I used to watch them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cI like Arsenal also.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The full interview will be released on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
