Arsenal and Milan both tracking Bahoya as Rafael Leao faces €50m sale scenario
Arsenal and AC Milan are both monitoring Strasbourg's young winger Guéla Doué Bahoya, according to reports. Arsenal are said to be weighing up a move for the 19-year-old as a potential attacking addition, while Milan have placed him on their wish list as a contingency plan should they part ways with star forward Rafael Leao for around €50m. The situation gives Strasbourg leverage in negotiations, with both Premier League and Serie A giants circling the same talent. Leao's future at San Siro remains uncertain amid ongoing financial considerations at the club.
Read the full story at football-italia.netStories linking Arsenal and Milan to the same young winger reflect a broader trend of elite clubs identifying cost-effective alternatives in the €15–30m range rather than chasing the €100m+ bracket. Bahoya, still a teenager at Strasbourg, fits the profile of a high-upside developmental signing that both clubs have favoured in recent windows. For Milan, the equation is straightforward: offloading Leao at €50m would recoup significant capital but require a like-for-like replacement, and Bahoya is a far cheaper, less proven option — which speaks to how much financial pressure continues to shape their transfer strategy. Arsenal's interest adds a Premier League dimension to the race and could force a quicker decision from Strasbourg.
