Rafael Leao is one of the most frustrating yet brilliant cases at AC Milan. An enigma on the pitch, but a question off it, and in recent times, both have been fading into another.
We are in a situation where Leao’s exit is a plausible reality, and it could be the furthest thing from the truth – we have no idea in that regard. At the end of 2024, there were suggestions that he wanted to leave with his agent putting in transfer queries to potentially interested parties.
However, since then, he has reaffirmed his love for the club. Unfortunately, it is not done there.
With his performances being inconsistent still, there is the question of value, and the €150 million release clause will be laughed at by interested parties in the summer – leaving the Rossoneri in a difficult place.
As Calciomercato.com write, the player represents a ‘technical and economical asset’ to the club, which makes him the highest paid player. However, that player has been a distant memory regularly this season.
Since his arrival, it has ‘always’ been Leao, when regarding big news or issues. Once again, this is the case.
In the dressing room, he clearly holds weight, almost single-handedly inspiring a comeback yesterday, however, there is still a desire for more from him.
With the summer arriving, ‘clarity is needed’ as the ‘paradox’ continues to swarm. After all, it is in everyone’s best interest to do so.
Clarity is also needed from the club
down w Leao. I bought the dip. Keep him.
Forza Milan.
The ptoblem isnt on Leao but management and owner who dont have the desire to compete for trophy but just to qualify for UCL to collect money
He always plays better if he comes in 2nd half but flops if he starts. Maybe keeps using in the 2nd half only. Definitely not a world class quality as hyped given his inconsistency.
To be honest that’s the whole team. Kinda hard to pin it down to one person that flops the most in the first.
If we sell leao and bring in some one supposedly better like Bb said( paixao lol), the issue will be the same , the other teams will study the person and mark him down. Milan should rather put quality in every dept then the weight will not be on one player alone. how will we have only one left back and we want to win the league compare to inter and juve, milan and their fans wants to reap but not sow
Agree
The issue will not be the same as Milan would learn a new tactic as they couldn’t rely on “get the ball to Leao and see what happens”.
