"Rafael Leao is one of the most gifted players in world football. However, many around and away from AC Milan feel that he could be more. Profiling Leao is a really difficult task, and many managers have struggled to get the best from him. Even now, we are only just starting to see the best of him, and yet it could be debatable if it is his best level."
"At his current rate, he is averaging a contribution every 90 minutes or so. In his 25-contribution season in Serie A, it was a contribution every 97 minutes. Despite this, he will end the year with a lower tally in Serie A, even if he sticks to the current rate. Luka Modric has emphasised that the Portuguese has all the talent to be one of the best, and many are of the same viewpoint - if you do not already believe that he is there."
Rafael Leao is one of the most gifted players in world football but many inside and outside AC Milan believe he could deliver more. Currently he averages a goal contribution roughly every 90 minutes, compared with one every 97 minutes during his 25-contribution Serie A season. Even maintaining the current rate will likely produce a lower Serie A tally for the year. Over the past six seasons Leao is the only Serie A player with more than 40 goals and 40 assists, totaling 52 goals and 40 assists. High pay and high expectations have intensified scrutiny when outputs fall short of inflated targets.
