The Italian outlet claims Leao could be available for a minimum of €60 million (£51m).
Barcelona and The Red Devils have reportedly not moved beyond initial enquiries, and the 27-year-old has reportedly also been "offered" to Tottenham Hotspur.
Clubs in Saudi Arabia and Turkiye are said to have made offers, but the Portugal international, who set up his country's winning goal in their dramatic World Cup last 32 victory over Croatia, is not interested.
Leao is under contract until 2028 with Milan, and the club reportedly want to cash in while they can.
He has been with the Rossoneri since 2019, when he joined from French side Lille, but Amorim does not see him fitting into his tactical set-up.
If clubs do not meet Milan's asking price, which is said to be €100m lower than his release clause, then a loan deal with an obligation to buy could be considered.
Leao himself reportedly wants "another challenge in another league", while Milan are hoping to recoup some of the money they spent on striker Goncalo Ramos, who headed in Leao's cross for Portugal against Croatia.

Barca able to register Alvarez

Barcelona are confident that they will be able to register Julian Alvarez with La Liga if they sign the striker from Atletico Madrid this summer, according to Sport.
Financial issues have caused problems for the Catlaan club regarding the registration of new signings in recent years, most notably with the additions of Jules Kounde, Dani Olmo and Joan Garcia.
Barcelona, thanks to a reduction of their wage bill and more revenue from sponsorship deals, are now said to be compliant with La Liga's Financial Fair Play regulations.
Robert Lewandowski's move to MLS side Chicago Fire has helped, allowing the club to register winger Anthony Gordon with "room to spare".
With Ansu Fati having also left for Monaco, and other potential departures to come, Barcelona expect to be able to afford the signing of Alvarez, which has become something of a saga in this summer's transfer window.
Sport's report claims Barca now intend to wait until after the World Cup to decide whether or not to make a new offer for Alvarez, having seen a bid of around €100m (£86m) rejected.
Barca reportedly "remain optimistic" that a deal can be agreed, provided they do not have to pay an "exorbitant" fee.

Olise situation 'dangerous' for Bayern

Bayern Munich are in a "dangerous" position regarding the future of Michael Olise, according to journalist Christian Falk.
The France international, who has shone at the World Cup, is under contract with Bayern until 2029, and the German champions have insisted that he is not for sale amid interest from Real Madrid.
And Falk has claimed that Olise's aspirations of winning the UEFA Champions League could eventually see him pursue a move away from Bayern.
"The Michael Olise situation is getting a little bit dangerous for Bayern Munich," he told CFBayern Insider.
"There are rumours around the Frenchman, where the people around him are allegedly saying that he knows he can always win the league with Bayern, but he’s already done this, and now he has the DFB Pokal under his belt.
"The Champions League, meanwhile, is perhaps a little more difficult to win at Bayern Munich. There are rumours he’d like to make a transfer somewhere else, and that Real Madrid is the club he should be dreaming of.
"Olise doesn’t talk much, so you never know if the rumours are true. Still, the people who are talking are supposedly really close to him.
"This could be a problem for Bayern, because everyone knows that dissatisfied players are not good players. I don’t see the France international signing a new contract at Bayern in the near future."
Olise, 24, scored 22 goals, and recorded 31 assists in a remarkable second season at Bayern, and leads the assists chart at the World Cup, with five to his name.
