Rafael Leao has dropped down the pecking order under the management of Paulo Fonseca and he’s not too pleased with the situation. According to a report, he has even asked his agents to explore a transfer.
Milan will face Monza at U-Power Stadium tonight and the latest reports suggest that Leao will be benched once again. Given that he was almost untouchable under Stefano Pioli’s guidance, the situation has taken a 180-turn and the winger is now considering his options.
According to Anto Vitiello for Corriere dello Sport, as cited by @garante_il on X, Leao is ‘disappointed’ with the treatment he has received from Milan and Fonseca over the last few weeks. In fact, he has even asked his agents to ‘explore other destinations’.
If things were to continue like this, as Vitiello concludes, Leao could even decide to leave Milan. The No.10 has a hefty release clause of €175m in his contract but there’s no doubt that his valuation has plummeted since the start of the season.
Barcelona have previously been interested in the player but even with a lowered price tag, it would be a very difficult operation for them to make. Perhaps the Premier League could be the solution, but for now there are no concrete options.
