Rafael Leao sees his future at AC Milan

Rafael Leao sees his future at AC Milan
There have long been rumors about Leao's future, but there are indications that he will stay in Italy.

Rafael Leao is AC Milan's big profile and he was one of the absolute top reasons why they are now in the Champions League final with an absolutely fantastic goal.
The 23-year-old Portuguese's contract expires in the summer of 2024 and a clarification has to be found on his future. Milan wants to extend and so does Leao immediately, but there are several factors that make both parties wait. Milan and Leao are both waiting to see if they play in the Champions League next season, as it will bring more money and thye can invest further in the squad so they become more competitive.

Big clubs are keeping an eye on Leao's situation and Chelsea in particular should be very interested. The price is of course high, as you get a winger with incredible speed, which is the most attractive thing when you want to buy offensive players.

Rafael Leao now has more Serie A goals than last season: 

◎ 2021/22 11 goals, 34 games
◉ 2022/23: 12 goals, 29 games

Leao is only 23 years old and he is going to develop even more as a player, which only makes him more attractive. If you look at his stats you can see a development from last season to this year, both in goals, dribbling and shots on goal. If you have seen Milan's matches, it is clear that he is the man you go to when something creative needs to be done, so in that way you have to say that he has taken more responsibility.

Rafael Leao’s all-time stats for AC Milan: 

-    156 games
-    40 goals
-    33 assists 

In his great joy after the match against Napoli, where they played in the Champions League semi-final, he stated that he would stay at AC Milan, so something could indicate interests from Leao's side.
However, it would be a shame to be without a player of this level next season if Milan do not qualify for the Champions League.
