AC Milan striker Rafael Leao: Good knowing Pioli regards me like Henry | OneFootball

AC Milan striker Rafael Leao says he's happy with the Rossonero.

Leao admits he'd be open to discussing a new deal.

He said, "I have another two years of contract and that's not nothing. Let's see, it's still early, for sure. I'm fine here.

“We are stronger and more mature than last year. Winning the league is the goal. I'm young, but I feel like an adult on the pitch, and the same is true for many of my teammates. Pioli also repeats it, to me, to Tonali, to Saelemaekers: 'You are young only on your ID card'. A tattoo in the case of a Scudetto? Maybe yes, let's see…"

On his relationship with coach Stefano Pioli, Leao also said: “Pioli understood me, he knows that with my dribbles and my moves I can make a difference. Before, he took great care with me in the tactical aspect, I was younger and more undisciplined. Now he doesn't explain much to me, he trusts me, he knows that I do my part even when the opponents have the ball.

“He tells me 'Stay wide and challenge your man': for me, everything becomes easier. I have also played as centre-forward and as a 10, I'm ready to do it again if needed, but on the left is another thing. Pioli thinks I'm like Henry? I thank him for the comparison, we are talking about a great champion, but I want to be Rafa, I want to go my own way."
