Suddenly disconnected? Bayern s inexplicable operation made Leo dissatisfied, and the player he liked has surfaced

On June 7, German Bild revealed that Bayern suddenly interrupted communication and contact with Milan winger Leo, which made the latter very dissatisfied. Before this, the two sides had very close contact.

25-year-old Leo is an active international on Portugal. In the just-concluded 2024/25 season, he played in 50 games for AC Milan, scoring a double-double of 12 goals and 11 assists, including 8 goals and 8 assists in 34 games in Serie A. Although personal data has declined compared with previous seasons, this is also directly related to Milan's overall downturn. Judging from personal abilities alone, Leo is still a world-class top winger.

Bayern is facing major adjustments in the lineup this summer, and wingers such as Sane, Gnabrey and Kingsley Koeman may all leave. This also further increases their demand for winger position. In this case, it is normal for Bayern to target Leo, who performs well in Serie A.

Of course, as the number one star of the Ross and Blacks, Leo is worth a lot of money. The latest data from the German transfer market website shows that Leo is currently worth up to 75 million euros, making him the most valuable player in Milan. Previously, according to the famous Italian journalist Longo, Milan was unwilling to let go and marked a sky-high price of 95 million euros for Leo, saying that only this price would make the club change its mind.

Leo is still very interested in joining Bayern, and he also informed Milan's senior executives of his willingness to leave the team, and had contact and telephone exchanges with Bayern. Of course, the deal is still in the tentative stage. Bayern has not provided a formal offer and is also evaluating multiple candidates. However, even so, Bayern's sudden disconnection seems a bit disrespectful enough.

But the reason why the Bundesliga class bully did this is that he has a more favorite candidate, that is, the Spanish international winger Nicho Williams who plays for Athletic Bilbao. In the just-concluded UEFA semi-final, he scored the first record and gave an assist, leading the Spanish team to defeat France 5-4 and advanced to the final, with an impressive performance. Nico Williams, 22, is younger than Leo, and he is also Bayern Sports Director Ebert's dream plan for the left winger.

Nico Williams' contract has a 58 million euro termination clause, which is much cheaper than Leo. However, he has high requirements for salary. At Athletic Bilbao, Nico Williams' annual salary reaches 10.42 million euros. If he joins a European giant team, he may require an absolute maximum salary of 10 million euros after tax, which will probably make Bayern a little unacceptable. The key is that Leo's salary requirements will not be much lower. But in terms of professional attitude, Nico Williams is not sure how much better than Leo.
