Reports Milan could reorganize attack with Dybala and Lewandowski or Vlahovic
Reports on Wednesday from Corriere della Sera (via Calciomercato.com) claim that Milan could reshape their attacking department during the summer transfer window and that Dybala could be part of it, but this still depends on a number of different factors.

Firstly, Milan must make a decision on Rafael Leao, who has struggled to reach the same heights in 2025-26 as in previous seasons, despite being the club’s top scorer in Serie A this season (with 9) and its top scorer in all competitions (with 10, along with Christian Pulisic).
This is partly due to a pubalgia problem which has affected Leao’s fitness, as well as the fact that he has played more regularly as a striker in a 3-5-2 rather than as a left winger in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1.
Some Rossoneri fans have grown impatient with the Portugal international, who was loudly booed during the team’s recent 3-0 home defeat against Udinese. Reports on Wednesday claim that Milan could consider a sale this summer, and although an exact transfer fee has not been specified, it is certain that Leao’s €175 million release clause will not be met.

If Leao leaves, Milan would have to reinvest in their attacking unit.
Firstly, a more traditional center forward is being sought for the summer transfer market, regardless of Leao’s future. Robert Lewandowski, available on a free transfer at the end of his contract with Barcelona, ​​has been linked with a move to San Siro, while Milan are reportedly still monitoring the situation between Juventus and Dusan Vlahovic.
Also out of contract at the end of the 2025-26 season is Dybala, whose future with Roma remains uncertain at this time.

Calciomercato reports that Dybala has not received confirmation in any way as to whether his contract with Roma will be extended or allowed to expire, but that he is already starting to receive offers from within Europe and South America.
Wednesday’s report claims that Dybala is not opposed to the idea of ​​staying at Roma, even with a pay cut, but that he also has options in Argentina, Brazil and potentially Italy too.
If his time with Roma were to come to an end this summer, Dybala would prefer to stay in Europe and ideally Italy.
This is where Milan comes in again, as Dybala is said to be keen on the idea of ​​reuniting with his former Juventus coach Allegri in Milan. La Joya had also been linked with a possible move to San Siro before joining Roma at the end of his stay with the Old Lady.

As the 32-year-old has been hampered by injuries, especially in the last two seasons, it has also been reported that he would be “willing” to accept a performance-based contract, meaning one dependent on appearances and goal contributions.
