Rafael Leao
Italian media analyse Rafael Leao’s recent struggles at Milan and Gazzetta suggests the Rossoneri should sell the Portuguese forward in the summer, signing a new centre forward.
Leao was named the Best Serie A player for 2021-22 following Milan’s first Scudetto in 11 years.
However, he’s been unable to replicate the same level of performance this season, especially in the new year.
His current contract expires in June 2024 but even if talks with the Rossoneri have been ongoing for several months, no agreement has yet been reached between the two parties.
La Gazzetta dello Sport’s Alessandro Vocalelli questions whether Leao’s extension should really be Milan’s priority.
“Leo is undoubtedly a great player. Ups and downs are difficult to accept, but his class and physicality belong to superior players,” the journalist wrote in his latest column for the pink paper.
“That’s why Milan have been in talks for his contract extension for a long time. Many millions to keep him at the club for more years to come. But is this Milan’s main urgency?
