Milan market, Leao breaks silence and declares, openly, his future

The seventh-year crisis. Rafael Leao, at the end of the most complicated season of the seven he has played with the Milan jersey, has decided that the time has come to put himself on the line elsewhere. It is not a market rumor, there are the words of the Portuguese to certify the decision to leave the Diavolo.

“I think I have given Milan everything I could give. It was a club that helped me a lot to grow, that supported me in difficult moments. I am happy to have been able to write my name in the history of the club. I wish to try a new challenge in a new league. And if that happens, I would be very happy and satisfied, because it would mean that I have done my job in the best way.”

These are his clear words to SportTV, Portuguese media. What is certain is that Milan will not try to change his mind. Even the club seems convinced that, for everyone’s sake, the time has come to part ways. Now there is to see where Rafael Leao will go to play.

On the future, the 1999-born Portuguese was equally clear: “No, right now the most important thing is the World Cup, helping the national team and doing well. Then, when the time comes, I will evaluate my options to continue my career and continue competing at the highest level of European soccer.” In short, a long relationship between Rafael Leao and Milan has practically ended. The most exhilarating moment? The Scudetto won, as a major player, in 2022.
