“Smile, my life between football, music and fashion”. This is the title of the autobiography that Rafael Leão is about to release, at only 24 years old. There will therefore likely be a volume 2, unless the rest of his career proves less prestigious. While he is expected in a store in Milan to present his work this afternoon, the Portuguese striker is already seeing the good sheets being published by the Italian media.
Particularly regarding his contract extension until 2028, which was slow to be finalized. “It took time, but upon signing, my thoughts were clear: this is not an economic pact, but a pact of love. Everyone would like to play for Milan. I wanted to stay to complete a period of growth that I had started and show everything I could still give as a footballer and as a man”, he writes in his book. His name was recently mentioned on the PSG side, to replace Kylian Mbappé.
