Rafa Leao Breaks Silence on Future: "No One is Authorized to Speak, I Reiterate That..."
AC Milan forward Rafa Leao has broken his silence regarding recent transfer rumors. In a social media story, Leao stated, "My only focus is on the field: I am concentrated on giving my all, every single game and every single training session. Just to avoid all forms of speculation and untrue news, I reiterate that I have entrusted the management of all my interests exclusively to my family and my lawyers for some time. No other person is authorized to speak on my behalf. Focus on the next objectives."
The future of the Rossoneri attacker is far from decided. Leao has participated in the last two friendly matches with Ruben Amorim's team, coming on as a substitute in the derby against Chivu's Inter and playing the first 45 minutes in the loss to Chelsea.
Milan's Transfer Market Hinges on Leao
Milan's transfer market activity will heavily depend on Rafael Leao. The Portuguese player could be sold for an offer of 50 million euros, but at the moment, no team has made a concrete move to reach such a figure. Galatasaray might increase their offer of 35 million in the coming days, but the Portuguese player is looking towards the Premier League. Barring any drastic changes or last-minute approaches, Leao will continue his career at Milan. A departure seemed inevitable, but at this moment, the Portuguese player seems inclined to stay. On Saturday, August 15th, the Rossoneri's pre-season will conclude with a match against Manchester United, in preparation for the first Serie A game against Ignazio Abate's Torino.
Key Points:
