The Future of Leao

Rafa Leao is not goingà to play in Saudi Arabia. The 20-million-euro-a-season offer from Al-Hilal, the club where he coaches the one Jorge Jesus who launched Leao himself, was in fact returned to sender by the person concerned, who, according to Corriere dello Sport, has made it known that he does not want to leave the Rossoneri club and European soccer.

A.C. Milan had already let it be known that they were willing to sell the player’s tag only in the face of payment of the 175 million rescission clause: not even 100 million euros cash would have convinced the Rossoneri to lower their demands.

In the last hours, meanwhile, there would be a new track leading directly to Lukaku. Big Rom, currently committed to Euro 2024 with Belgium, will not stay at Chelsea. Napoli has been courting him for some time. Conte esteems him highly and would like him with sé in his new experience in the Azzurri. However, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan has also reportedly come forward for the 31-year-old Belgian striker.

Tired of waiting for Joshua Zirkzee (negotiations always stalled over the issue related to the high commissions demanded by the Bologna striker's agent), the Diavolo would be thinking about Big Rom, a player who knows Italian soccer perfectly well. A former (he played in Inter for three seasons, with an impressive 78 goals scored) who would make a lot of noise if he were to wear the rossonero.
