Leao’s decision to publicly declare his desire to leave Milan after the end of the 2025-26 season generated some headlines to say the least, and many presumed that his story with the club would be ending after seven years.
The issue is that the winger earmarked his desire to move to the Premier League or to LaLiga, but offers from big clubs in those countries have not arrived. There was some talk of Spurs being in the running, though Fabrizio Romano poured cold water on that.
Now, an interesting update has come from Sacha Tavolieri: “Rafael Leão decided to stop using a dedicated agent. The Portuguese now works with several lawyers.
“For the Saudi market, the AC Milan player will also be represented by a local agency, with initial interest already emerging from the Saudi Pro League. One to watch.”
So, Leao may well have taken the first step towards the idea of opening up to moving to Saudi Arabia. It was previously believed that he would hold out for a top club in Europe, though this latest change suggests that there may have been a shift in that stance.
