Leao wants to remain at Milan – he will be key in the post-Pioli project

Rafael Leao is in his fifth season at AC Milan and although there has been speculation about a future elsewhere, it does not seem to be in the plans of the winger.

According to a report on the Sky website, there is a period of change coming up for Milan who will have to choose a new head coach and make some summer signings that raise the level of the squad to close the gap that has opened up with Inter.

The management are also reflecting on the future of the current best players, among which Leao obviously stands out. However, the Portuguese – who grew as a man and as a player at Milan – does not want to leave the club.

Unless huge offers are made, he will be the cornerstone of the new team that will be born after the summer and will continue to lead the club into what they hope will be a successful post-Pioli era.
