This evening, a report has emerged stating that AC Milan and Rafael Leao’s agency have begun the process of parting ways.

It is no secret that Leao and Milan are likely to separate this summer and today, the steps are being taken to make it happen. Interest so far has been low, so the positions of all parties need to be crystal clear.

After all, the Rossoneri would not benefit from a U-turn in this situation, nor would the player.

Leao departure process underway

As MilanNews writes this evening, it has been a day of meetings for the Rossoneri, with Youssouf Fofana’s entourage also heading for a meeting this evening – presumably to discuss his likely exit this summer.

However, it appears that this is not the only meeting that has taken place.

According to the report, the new management team – conducted by Hendrik Almstadt and Bobby Gardiner – have held talks with Leao’s entourage to ‘begin the process’ that will lead to his eventual sale.

The forward’s comments did not go down well with Gerry Cardinale and he is open to the sale, as is the new head coach Ruben Amorim. If it didn’t already feel like the beginning of the end, it really does now.

      1. You again with that “Mexican” thing? Why are you doing that ?! alex jimenez (it’s not even the same spelling as you can see) isn’t our player anymore!

        1. Jimenez is Spanish and has been sold, however Gimenez does play for us, and does indeed need to be sold, you make a lot of comments on here with clearly no knowledge of what’s going on. Are you that Oluwale or whatever his name is under a different screen name, very few have made as many uneducated comments.

          1. Are you dumb or are you dumb? It’s your choice – haven’t I said that jimenez isn’t ours anymore? You need to learn how to read properly in order to comprehend things better, in the meantime, don’t talk to me…

          2. What Revolt is trying to say is- because we only have one Gimenez, there is no need to add that he is Mexican. Back when we had Jimenez, some used to say “Mexican” Gimenez to differentiate between them.

          3. My point is that he doesn’t need to emphasize the fact that Santi is from Mexico because we have only one Gimenez in our squad. He does it every time when he writes about him and when he repeats this ugly comment. The guy certainly does it fully intenionally most probably because he has something against that nation. Haven’t you noticed that I even mentioned the spelling? That was the most obvious “clue” of them all.
            P.S. Even if you meant Simone Perrotta instead of Simone Barone, you’re completely clueless…

        2. What is your point actually? The guy you are replying to, talk about Mexican Santiago Gimenez,but You talk about Spanish Alex Jimenez.
          They are two different players. Are you aware of it?

          1. My point is that he doesn’t need to emphasize the fact that Santi is from Mexico because we have only one Gimenez in our squad.

    1. Leao hasn’t shown anything on his own. If you can’t adjust to a new coaches style of play, well then you’re basically a system player, which deceases your stock massively, which is essentially what Leao has now been exposed for, he’s purely a system player, much like players like Phil Foden, Steven Gerrard and Paul Scholes, players who had very little adaptability to different systems which is why the above always looked terrible in a England shirt. A lot of people will talk about Simone Barone being a World Cup winner with the Azzurri in 2006 like it’s an insult, he was a far better overall footballer than the above mentioned overrated footballers.

      1. DecReases, not deceases. Barone was better than Gerrard and Scholes? A FAR BETTER overall player? And you are an educated one? In just 2 comments here, you have embarassed yourself beyond belief.

  1. “have held talks with Leao’s entourage to ‘begin the process’ that will lead to his eventual sale.”

    LOL. First, there would need to be a club who is interested. There are none. 🤷‍♂️🤣

  2. Hopefully they will stop doing transfer market as before.

    Milan failed transfer market is connected to extremely heavy and aggressive sales once target is not reached.

    Of course players who play bad should be sold but not to all costs. Sometimes they could be useful untill last moments of sales.

  3. Fuck you all who hates Leao
    Fuck you all
    Fuck Allegri
    Fuck y’all who never blamed Allegri
    I told you Leao is very good just Allegri was garbage

  4. OK, this, just when Leão earns Man of the Match in a World Cup victory, with a gorgeous assist to Gonçalo Ramos, a gorgeous shot that unfortunately exploded in the crossbar, and other good actions.

    One day, all his detractors will see his success elsewhere and will regret that they advocated so strongly for his sale.

    The way Leão was treated by the fanbase, no wonder he wants to leave.

    Apparently Tottenham Hotspurs are interested.

    1. It’s just a game to these people.

      A Hunger Game.

      They seem to get more joy from insulting players than they do from watching their team.

      1. Football is literally a game.
        Why are you commenting on Milan instead of commenting and watching your team Como?

    2. Hopefully Tottenham fanbase can treat him better. Good riddance.
      He plays 1 good game and his fanboy comes out of the woodwork

      1. “He plays 1 good game and his fanboy comes out of the woodwork”

        This. One good match in every 5 isn’t “performance of a superstar”.

    3. Hopefully this assist will help getting him sold. As no proper team shown enough interest to make a bid for him throughout the last 7 years. We all know why.

    4. That’s exactly what he does best, isnt it? Couple of good games and suddenly disappear for several others. Honestly, I think Milan fans have been nothing but patience when it comes to Leao. We’ve been hoping for his ‘breakout’ for 6-7 years now. We’ve been shielding him. Making excuses (many irrationals that is) for him. Letting his antiques slides.

      And it’s only half of the last season when Milan fans decided enough is enough, when they started booing him. Mind you that he’s our highest paid player (both in transfer and in salary). So it’s normal to see our high expectation. And to see that inconsistency for years and years is nothing but patience.

      If he does better in his upcoming club, good for him. I think his cycle with Milan is just naturally over, for many reasons we can talk all day. So that’s that.
