"Leao produced the game's only bit of quality: the perfect assist for Rabiot, which earned Massimiliano Allegri's team the three points. However, the coach took him off after just over an hour, astonishing Rafa who politely demanded an explanation."
"Leao hasn't scored since March 1st, in the 2-0 win over Cremonese, and his performances have been disappointing at times. This was the case in the last match at San Siro against Udinese, when the Milan fans booed him loudly."
"Leao is considered - along with the out of form Christian Pulisic - the only forward capable of winning matches with individual flair. At the same time, his defensive contribution is too lacking to force Allegri to move him to the wing."
"Milan don't consider him unsellable, and Leao could be seriously open to leaving for the first time, perhaps boosted by a strong World Cup."
Rafael Leao's performance against Hellas Verona showcased his inconsistent season, highlighted by a decisive assist but followed by a substitution that surprised him. Despite battling pubalgia, he has played most games this season but has not scored since March 1st. His recent performances have drawn criticism from fans, raising questions about his role in the team. Leao's contract runs until 2028, yet the relationship between him and AC Milan appears strained, with the possibility of a transfer becoming more likely as he contemplates his future.
