A fresh update from Barcelona's winger search in the transfer window after the Nico Williams disappointment.
Barcelona have reportedly learnt the updated valuation for Rafael Leao and could make a move for him later this summer.
The 27-year-old has been on the radar of Barcelona, among other clubs, for the last few seasons. However, his transfer fee, set at over €100 million, had prevented clubs from making a move. That fee is believed to have been slashed.

According to a report from Sport, Milan, who are expected to go through a rebuild this summer, are now prepared to let go of Leao, who led them to their 19th Serie A title during the 2021/22 season.
Per the report, the Portugal international will be available to suitors for around €70 million this summer, a fee similar to what Barcelona were prepared to pay for Nico Williams.
The Blaugrana president, Joan Laporta, reportedly loves Leao and has been pushing for him. However, sporting director Deco prefers other targets.

Deco might have no choice
Luis Diaz has been the Brazilians' first choice for the Barcelona left wing. However, Liverpool have reportedly closed the door on his sale.
The LALIGA champions reached an agreement on personal terms for Nico Williams, but the Spain international decided to remain at Athletic Club, signing a new contract.
They have also expressed interest in Marcus Rashford but have failed to make a concrete move. With Leao’s new reduced price, Deco might have to go with Leao.
