Rafael Leao’s Portugal sealed a comfortable 5-2 win against Sweden in a friendly last night and the AC Milan man was one of the best players. After the game, he swapped shirts with the Sporting star and Rossoneri target Viktor Gyökeres.
Leao opened the scoring for Portugal with a lovely striker and continued to cause havoc for the Swedes down the left-hand side. Unlike the Coppa Italia clash against Atalanta, he got the best of Emil Holm this time out and really showed his qualities.
After the game, having been subbed off after the first half, Leao swapped shirts with the Sporting striker Viktor Gyökeres. The 25-year-old has scored a whopping 36 goals and assisted an additional 14 for the Portuguese side this season, thus attracting the interest of Milan.
As the video (see below) of them swapping shirts was posted on social media, fans started to picture the ‘dream future’ of having both of them at Milan for next season. Given the inevitable high price tag that the Swede will have, though, it seems unlikely.

yeah Gyokeres who was in 2nd division last year now is apparently worth 100m because online fans are easily influenced
It’s probably because this season he has 24 goals and 10 assists…
That is in Portugese league.
Mario Jardel had 26, 30, 36, 38 & 42 goal seasons back in the day.
100M release clause is far too much…
He would be absolutely amazing, but he’s wayyy too expensive
sure. 5 year loan, 20M each year
I don’t think Sporting really think they can get that much for him, but they’ll hope someone pays the clause out if panic. 1 top flight season is something all teams are wary of now but we’re gonna have to at least open the wallet with a real bid for once if we want him
