AC Milan: Rafael Leão set to stay

Well before the 2026 World Cup, Rafael Leão had hinted that he might leave AC Milan. The Portuguese winger thus fueled speculation about his future.

In recent days, Fenerbahçe have shown strong interest in the player. The Turkish giants are ready to break the bank to secure the services of the Portuguese winger. However, while on holiday in Brazil, the forward surprised everyone by unexpectedly opening the door to another year at Milan.

"I've already discussed with the club the possibility of trying a new adventure, but I don't know if it will happen. I have to report for pre-season training on July 29 and, as long as I'm here, I'll give my all out of respect for the shirt that has given me everything. Milan has helped me enormously on every level, but in life, you also have ambitions for other things, and if an opportunity arises, I will consider my options. But I will remain a Milan player," explained the Portuguese international.
