Rafael Leao has consistently attracted the attention of the big clubs in Europe, and AC Milan will be glad to hear that he is remaining focused on his current situation.
The past 10 months have seen questions arise about Leao’s position at Milan for a variety of reasons. Leading up to the summer mercato, there was speculation about a departure, perhaps to replace Mbappe at PSG or add to the firepower at Manchester City.
Regardless of the rumours, he remained.
This season, the rumour mill has begun to start again. A frosty relationship with new head coach Paulo Fonseca saw Leao eventually shifted to the bench for a period of time, and there had been suggestions that he had asked his agents for a way out.
Barcelona, seemingly, are the most interested club. Their need for a new winger is clear, and the Portuguese is one of their favourite options, an option they dream of. As Calciomercato.com write, the idea of a Rossoneri departure is growing in Spain, especially with the Blaugrana being ‘convinced’ that he is the most ‘authoritative alternative’ to Nico Williams.
Nevertheless, the winger has recently reaffirmed his love for the club and stated that the problems with Fonseca have been sorted.
Perhaps, once again, the rumours will run dry and he will remain, as he blocks out the Spanish siren, focusing on Milan.
I wish we had Laporta instead of these clowns…
2 billion dollar contracts, restarted LaMasia after 10-15 years of no proper talent, started already rebuilding the stadium unlike these fools, and in 2 transfer windows without being able to properly even register anyone completed the squad…
We still have 6-7 deadwood players, no starting RB, no covers for midfield or even proper 3rd member of the trio to be completed…
You’re having a laugh, right? They’re in 1.2 billion debt. Laporta has literally hedged all his bets on Barca consistently making the latter rounds of the CL and winning a few trophies here and there. One or two bad seaons will knock their finances for six, and they cannot afford that. They’re still having trouble every year registering players they’ve bought because they can’t adhere to the La Liga financial caps.
Say what you want about the current ownership at Milan, and there certainly are problems, but at least they’re not at risk of having the lights turned off.
Barca got 2 billion with Nike… the bet worked out…
we have clean books, that’s the only thing I hear… every year – our books have gotten better, but what do they lead to?! We cheap out on every position and 6 teams have left us in the dust… so again how isn’t Laporta better?!
We have 4 deadwood: Florenzi, Calabria, RLC, Jovic
2 more players that aren’t ready: Jimenez and Terracciano…
so that makes 20 actual players in the senior side, -1 for perma-injured Bennacer.
We have no cover for Reijnders, Fofana, Theo and no starting RB… how is this management not criticized more? how are we as fans not boycotting these clowns?!
2 billion over 14 years.
You’re the clown if you don’t know what a sponsorship deal looks like
2 billion is still 2 billion…
Milan doesn’t even need more than 80-100M to complete the squad…
Laporta is a clown
if Laporta is clown what does that make Gerry?!
A very successful investor.
Laporta always was and always will be a clown.
Jerry could easily start spending cash we don’t have, get big signings and leave the club in a financial black hole..
Who gives a fùck if the club is a billion in the red when you have a trophy or two to show for it.. let the next guy figure out how to pay that off. Right?
Napoli is literal example of you being over-dramatic…
they spent and now they are getting results… do you think Milan not going to UCL doesn’t hurt our pockets?! fans starting to get sick of their empty promises?!
You need 4 players and quality ones not the ones from Euro store… you can also easily use the current deals you have to make sane transfers…
Adli-Parisi swap (they are keeping him and Parisi is 3rd choice atm, but unlike Terraciano and Jimenez who are RB, he’s naturally LB, said several times that he aspires to be like Theo, was amazing at Empoli and of course the Italians “these investors” kept ignoring)
Kalulu + 15-20M for Fagioli (they need money for CB, ST and LB)
Genoa are in crisis so you can get Frendrup for a good deal
Also we never use very sane formulas like loan+obligation, % resale, spreading it over couple of years…
You can ignore RB and try surviving like that:
And finally RLC (20-25M from EPL midtable team); Jovic idk about Ricci down-payment but Torino are interested (u-5M is doable); Bennacer will be also sold in the summer for better sum than 20M…
Also aside from Adli and Kalulu you are getting additional 45-50M (Pobega, Colombo, Salaemakers, Vasquez, Romero, Pellegrino)
Napoli.. the fùck you know about Napoli?
Do you know in what state napoli was when de laurentis bought them?
If you knew you’d never mention napoli when talking about money and how to run a club.
Laporta is a joke compared to what napoli did this century…
that’s not an argument, I literally spelled it out for you that we don’t have to spend much but cheap Yanks don’t wanna spend at all cause it’s an equity for them not a club…
We bought 70M worth this summer. Barca bought 57M.
We definitely aren’t spending. You’re such a bright boy…
and we got 30M back… so? we are also getting upto 70M in the summer… which makes things even more infuriating… there is money, but 0 ambition… 0 management!
Emerson Royal is the biggest disappointment since Origi… has to be carried by 21yo Musah…
Barca got 38M back in…
Wanna do it for 23/24?
We are spending!!
Pointless talking to a fifa manager dude. Every comment you make is fifa manager.. sell this and this to get money to buy this and this..
Lay off on fifa manager for a couple months will ya?
