The announcement of the renewal of the contract between AC Milan and Rafael Leang (23) is imminent.
Leão is a Portuguese striker who excels in breakthroughs based on his speed. He is a ‘crack’ type who shakes the opponent’s defense by actively trying to dribble when he has the ball. He is good with his physicality, so he actively tries to compete and aim for goals.
Leão wore a Milan uniform in the 2019-20 season after going through Sporting and Lille. Leang, who has played more than 30 league games since his first season and earned a starting position, played his best performance in the 2021-22 season with 11 goals and 10 assists in 34 games.
Thanks to Leang’s performance, Milan lifted the Scudetto (Serie A championship trophy) in 11 years, and Leão became the Serie A Player of the Year. This season, when he scored 13 goals in 34 league games, he boasted an upgraded score.
Naturally, the interest of the big clubs towards Leang has grown even more. Manchester United, Real Madrid and Chelsea have shown interest in signing Leão. As negotiations for renewal of the contract did not go well, the possibility of a transfer was weighed on.
Leão, however, appears likely to remain at Milan. European football transfer market expert Fabricio Romano said on the 29th (Korean time), “Milan is preparing to announce the renewal of the contract with Real Madrid. The new deal was agreed two weeks ago and runs through 2028. The buyout is 175 million euros (approximately 250 billion won).”먹튀검증
Leang has recently been rumored to be trading with Tottenham’s Son Heung-min. Italy’Il Romanista’ said, “Son Heung-min can choose to transfer to the Italian league for the championship trophy. Milan can sign Son Heung-min through a trade with Leão.” As news of the renewal of the contract was transmitted, the possibility of a trade has disappeared.
