GdS: Fight or farewell – Leao facing ‘crossroads’ over Milan future | OneFootball

Rafael Leao has been central to the AC Milan project in recent years. However, his performances have dwindled recently and there is a crossroads situation.

Right now, things are seemingly a million miles away from Leao’s MVP season. The Portuguese is still providing, but not to the level he once was. Milan now get a player in spells, and they are rather inconsistent, rather than the winger who would light up games consistently.

From this, questions about his attitude have stemmed, as have questions about his relationship with the manager, given he has been on the bench regularly in recent games, and for this reason Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes that the winger is ‘at a crossroads’.

It is certainly not a normal situation. Leao, the Rossoneri’s highest-paid player with the largest transfer value, presents an intriguing problem. Against Monza, Paulo Fonseca may decide to bring him back into the squad, but Noah Okafor’s recent performances have given the head coach food for thought.

For this reason, the report questions whether Leao will return to centrality for the Diavolo, or whether a move away could occur. Barcelona and Saudi Arabian clubs are still interested in Milan’s star – perhaps even in January a move could occur – but the future is in Leao’s hands.
