Speaking publicly about his status at San Siro, Rafael Leão confirmed that talks have taken place with AC Milan management concerning a possible transfer. According to reports from Italian sports media, the Portuguese international noted that while the Italian giants have provided a vital platform for his career development, broader professional ambitions remain a consideration for his future.
