AC Milan forward Rafael Leao has revealed that he never actually thought of leaving the club and he has a lot more to achieve for the Rossoneri.
Speaking during a press conference on national team duty with Portugal (via Milan News), the forward was asked about his recent contract extension with Milan and the potential that he could have chosen to head elsewhere.
He explained that the decision to renew had been made long before it was communicated to the fans, and he is fully committed to winning more trophies with the club.
“The decision had already been made before signing the contract, I told the directors that it was what I wanted. When I arrived at Milan the club supported me in an incredible way, I didn’t think about any other club or about leaving, I want to make history at Milan,” Leao explained.
Leao is a vital player for Milan but he is not a starter for Portugal, that is something that he seems calm about though.
“No reason. When I arrive here I don’t think about that, I only think about giving my best. I don’t think about being a starter or the bench, I try to do my best and improve, I’ll be happy, but the most important thing is to represent the national team,” he said.
He was also asked about the possibility of Mehdi Taremi joining Milan this summer as a new striker, but he quickly shut down the discussion by explaining that it is not his job.
“That subject is not my responsibility. There are those who deal with it, I’m only talking about the national team,” he said.
