"The paper this morning has underlined how the relationship between the Milan fan base and the former Sporting and Lille star is now at an all-time low. As a result, his potential sale is now a topic of daily discussion. They add that 'something broke between Leao and Milan'. The winger has confessed to friends and acquaintances that he's bitter about the treatment he's received from his own fans in the past few weeks."
"More specifically, when he was heavily booed by fans in the matches against Udinese, Juventus and Atalanta. In his last match he picked up a yellow card, which will force him to miss the trip to Genoa due to suspension. This comes just as Massimiliano Allegri's team are battling for a Champions League spot in a very difficult run of form."
"Leao will be available again for the final matchday, against Cagliari at San Siro, which could also be his final match for the Rossoneri. Leao - despite having a contract until June 2028 - is no longer untouchable as he once was and Milan are ready to evaluate offers. Nobody will pay his €175m release clause, so the club will consider all offers of around €50-60m."
"Al-Hilal are one of the main candidates to land Leao, where his close friend and former team-mate Theo Hernandez plays. The Saudi Pro League club are constantly pressing but, as CorSport highlight, Rafa is not particularly fascinated by the prospect of laving European football. Leao's dream is the Premier League, a fascinating destination both in terms of level and finances, but finding the right buyer is not easy. Chelsea and Manchester United could think about it, while discussions could"
Rafael Leao’s time with AC Milan appears increasingly likely to end after seven years. The relationship between Leao and the Milan fan base is described as being at an all-time low, with a reported break between Leao and the club. Leao has expressed bitterness about treatment from fans in recent matches, including heavy booing against Udinese, Juventus, and Atalanta. A yellow card in his last match leads to a suspension for the trip to Genoa. Milan are fighting for a Champions League spot and may consider offers despite Leao’s contract running until June 2028. His €175m release clause is unlikely to be paid, so Milan may accept bids around €50–60m. Al-Hilal is a candidate, but Leao is not strongly drawn to leaving European football, while the Premier League remains his preferred destination.
