"In the summer, there were suggestions that AC Milan could sign Moise Kean. However, it may be a good thing that it didn't happen. With Milan looking short up top, Massimiliano Allegri requested that a top striker arrive at the club, and Kean was an idea that was mentioned. The Italian had just scored 19 Serie A goals, and the pair had previous experience together. However, a move was never made."
"Now, though, it seems like that may have been a good thing. The lack of a striker pushed Allegri to play Leao in a central role, and the benefits are clear to see so far. He has scored five Serie A goals, only sitting behind Lautaro Martinez so far. If Kean - or any other striker for that matter - had joined, who knows if Leao would have been rediscovered."
""Yes, absolutely, he deserves it. He's a fantastic player: I wish him all the best.""
In the summer, AC Milan was linked with Moise Kean after he scored 19 Serie A goals and had previous experience with Massimiliano Allegri. Allegri requested a top striker, but no move materialized. The absence of a new striker prompted Allegri to deploy Rafael Leão centrally. Leão has responded with five Serie A goals and sits only behind Lautaro Martinez in the scoring charts. Had Kean or another striker joined, Leão might not have been rediscovered in that role. Kean publicly praised Leão, saying he deserves top scorer and wishing him all the best.
