Milan, Rafael Leão to bid farewell: two possible destinations

Rafael Leão’s experience at AC Milan now seems to have reached the end credits: the footballer is not part of the Rossoneri’s future plans and the relationship with the Diavolo fans is at an all-time low.

Gerry Cardinale seems to have decided to confirm his trust in Massimiliano Allegri and in the Livorno coach’s 3-5-2 there is no room for Leão as we have already seen this season. There are two possible destinations for the Portuguese ace: Manchester United and Fenerbahce.

The Red Devils in the summer will make yet another revolution in recent years: the management is determined to deeply rebuild the team to hand Michael Carrick a squad capable of competing at the highest level on all fronts. Rafael Leão has been a pet of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s for quite some time and the decisive lunge could be made in the next soccer session.

One of Fenerbahce’s presidential candidates, Hakan Safi, has already asked a number of associates to monitor the Portuguese to understand the real transfer possibilities. At the moment, the percentage is not very high, but the situation could change a lot: the Turkish club has grown a lot in recent years and now boasts champions of the caliber of Marco Asensio, Mattéo Guendouzi, Ederson and many others in its roster.

According to the club, Milan is willing to sell Leão and his departure should finance the purchase of a top-notch pure center forward. The Portuguese player has a 175-million-euro rescission clause that will surely not be exercised: whoever wants to buy him will have to bargain directly with the Diavolo.
