Milan are reportedly considering Eintracht Frankfurt winger Jean-Matteo Bahoya as a potential replacement should Rafael Leao leave the club, according to Football Italia.<\/strong><\/p>\n The report, published on 27 August 2026, states that Galatasaray and Aston Villa are prepared to meet Milan\u2019s \u20ac50m asking price, including add-ons, for the Portuguese forward. The final decision on any move is reported to rest with Leao.<\/p>\n The wider picture around Leao\u2019s Milan future has put the club\u2019s reported interest in Bahoya into focus. Milan\u2019s search for an alternative is linked to the prospect of Leao\u2019s departure, with the reported \u20ac50m package central to the situation.<\/p>\n Bahoya, 21, came through the Angers youth academy before joining Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2024 for a fee of around \u20ac8m. The Frenchman can play on the left wing, as a trequartista behind the striker or as a centre-forward.<\/p>\n That positional flexibility makes Bahoya one of the names reportedly under consideration as Milan assess options for their attack. According to Footmercato, he is a prominent name on the club\u2019s wish list.<\/p>\n The reported \u20ac50m figure relates to Leao and includes add-ons, with Galatasaray and Aston Villa said to be ready to meet Milan\u2019s asking price. Bahoya\u2019s move from Angers to Frankfurt, meanwhile, was completed in January 2024 for around \u20ac8m.<\/p>\n Bahoya is under contract with Frankfurt until June 2029.<\/p>\n Football Italia frames Milan\u2019s search around finding a player who can fit into Ruben Amorim<\/strong>\u2018s formation. Bahoya\u2019s ability to cover the left wing, the number 10 role and centre-forward duties gives him a range of attacking options.<\/p>\n He is also known for his pace, having reached 37 km\/h in a Bundesliga match.<\/p>\n Milan are not the only club linked with the Frenchman. Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Fenerbahce and Everton have also shown interest in Bahoya, according to the report.<\/p>\n The reported Milan interest in Bahoya is tied to Leao\u2019s decision between Galatasaray and Aston Villa. Should Leao leave, the Rossoneri\u2019s search for an attacking replacement would move forward with Bahoya among the players linked to the club.<\/p>\n Those following the broader market interest around Leao will be watching for Leao\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nBahoya\u2019s Route from Angers to Frankfurt<\/h2>\n
