This has been far from Rafael Leao’s best season in an AC Milan shirt. However, he will be given the chance to make it a good year personally.
It is likely that this could be a defining summer for Leao. Indeed, this is the closest that he has ever been to leaving Milan and it could well be the year that it does happen. After all, there is no smoke without fire.

Both parties seem to have accepted the fact that this may be the case and neither is dragging the other to the finish line. Perhaps this weekend will be different. However, no one could confidently say that it will be.
Leao given a summer chance
With his value at an all-time low then, at least where the Rossoneri era is concerned, this summer could be huge for both parties. Considering he has not had the best season, Leao could well find it difficult to find a suitor.
However, a strong performance at the World Cup could increase interest and for the Diavolo, raise their asking price.
With Roberto Martinez confirming him in the 26 man squad earlier today, the opportunity is there for him. Now, it is just a case of hoping that he takes it. If he doesn’t questions will not only come from those with a Milan persuasion.
It makes alot of sense. He’s a major weapon for the Portuguese team. They play him on the wing btw. Wink wink
Of course he remain a weapon for the Portuguese team, watch him excel for Portugal, even at Milan with all the boos from some section of the fans, He is still number 1 in G+A
He’s never been a key starting eleven in Portugal. His last goal for the national team was back in March ’24, and it’s only a friendly. Isn’t it weird the so-called top performer, superstar, highest-paid, key figure of Milan is not even a regular starter on his national team?
Martínez seems to prefer Neto and even Félix to Leão.
Actually Pulisic has 14 and Leao has 13. Good try though 😉
Leao has no problem in Milan but Allegri is just trying to rubbish him with his outdated garbage repositioning which has deprived Milan the scudetto this season. What’s the problem of this coach honestly I have had enough of him and it’s time Milan let him go and hire a good coach not just outdated brain who is just around to make a living. Why did even change Leao to the centre forward instead of his normal left flank where Milan strength lies. Allegri must go. Garbage old stubborn man
