Rafael Leao

This guy is really worth following closely. With the dearth of good strikers out there, he has some really interesting qualities.

Good player with a lot of potential but he needs time to grow. He's not ready to lead Barca's line.

Doubt we're going to get anyone to lead our line with Suarez freeloading in the team. Bet he'll still be starting next season :facepalm:

Well, I guess LOSC is the team to follow rather than OL. From those highlights videos he seem reasonably good on the ball, very fast and quite strong physically being able to hold the ball. Often goes out on the wing too.

Very interesting player. Former Barca director Marc Ingla at Lille too.

I will scout him. If I approve I want the entire forum to join in on the hype train and spam Twitter. Remember, I brought you guys Nelson Semedo when you were gunning for Hector Bellerin.

Not to forget how I backed Arthur when people thought he was a no-name Brazilian who would flop. :coffee:

Don't think anyone here really wanted Bellerin. Well, I didn't for sure.


Leao looks very promising. Can anyone prognose how much he would cost? If he's not too expensive I wouldn't mind signing him alongside someone like Jović/Gomez and leave him on loan at Lille for a year or two. We'll eventually need 2 new strikers in next two years IMO. Maybe Abel Ruiz will be good enough for a backup role but I don't have too much faith in La Masia developing first team quality strikers.
