Each year, it's a bit of the same catchphrase with Rafael Leão (26 years old). Under contract with AC Milan until 2025, the Portuguese international (40 selections, 5 goals) is regularly announced leaving, but he always ends up staying. This summer, we revealed to you that Bayern Munich, who was looking for a winger, was preparing an XXL offer for the Rossonero. For his part, Milan had prepared for these assaults and had set the starting price of his player at € 85 million. In the end, Rafael Leão rempeded for a sixth year in Italy. This season, the Portuguese only played three matches, all competitions combined (1 goal).
If he experienced a calf injury in August, number 10 Rossonero obviously does not give satisfaction after a 2024/2025 season more than correct (12 goals and 13 assists in 50 matches). According to the Gazzetta dello SportMassimiliano Allegri severely cropped the Lusitanian in front of his own teammates after the draw conceded against Juventus (0-0). According to the daily pink paper, the new coach Rossonero did not mention the name of Leão, but all the other players would have understood who was targeted. Rafael Leão was attacked by an allegri who had been filmed letting go “don't annoy meTo his player before the latter comes into play.
“”At his age, there is no longer time to waste»»
Then, the Transalpine technician annoyed himself when he saw his number 10 missed an opportunity at close range before spoiling a Luka Modric caviar. Furious, Allegri therefore made Leão understand that his performance in Turin was unworthy of a player claiming a status as a holder in his Milan. The Portuguese has also received the message announcing that the GIMENEZ-AKUNKU doublet would pass him before if he does not react. Put in front of his responsibilities, Rafael Leão has also been fought by Adrien Rabiot, in an interview with the Gazzetta dello Sport. A privileged relay of Allegri, the French midfielder clearly invited his teammate to regain control.
“I know people talk a lot about him. He is a player who has great potential, but at 26, we are no longer very young. At his age, there is no longer time to waste, time passes quickly. It would be a shame that there remains a player with unexploited potential. I hope he realizes that he has what it takes to compete with the best. He may not have the will or the passion of a player like Modric, but Leão must ask himself where he wants to go, if he is satisfied with what he has accomplished or if his goal is to become what he can really be. For us, it would be a shame that he does not express all his potential and does not focus 100 % on his work. Allegri knows how to get the most out of his players. I hope he will also have a positive influence on him. It may be the right opportunity for Leão. »» A good hearing …
