"Calciomercato.com confirm that Leao apologised to Christian Pulisic, Allegri and the team at training on Tuesday, acknowledging that his actions - while not serious - have created further problems in an already complex period. The handshake with Pulisic has ended the issue, at least internally."
"Allegri worked hard last summer to change Milan's mentality. The primary goal, as he repeatedly emphasised, was to create a solid, cohesive group, fully aware that rules of conduct must be strictly adhered to."
"In the late January meeting with Igli Tare and Giorgio Furlani, Allegri expressed a favourable opinion on the idea of Leao extending his contract until 2031, and this position had become increasingly clear in the following weeks before this tense phase arose."
Rafael Leao's future at Milan came under scrutiny following his visible anger during substitution in Sunday's loss to Lazio. Despite scoring nine league goals, the incident dominated discussion. Leao apologized to Christian Pulisic, Allegri, and the team at training, resolving the matter internally. Allegri has worked to establish strict team conduct standards and a cohesive group mentality since last summer. The defensive restructuring to a 3-5-2 formation has progressed well, with Leao adapting positively. In late January meetings, Allegri expressed support for extending Leao's contract until 2031. Contract negotiations entered operational phases in mid-January, with both player and club sharing commitment to consolidating Milan's core of top players.
