"After yet another poor performance on a disappointing night for the team, the feeling is that Rafael Leao's time at AC Milan will soon end. As Corriere dello Sport recall, Leao's match ended the same way as the last few: Milan were disappointing, often trailing, with a substitution around the hour mark and deafening boos from the stadium."
"The Portuguese had his head down, briskly striding around the opposition half of the pitch beyond the line, drawing more jeers from his own fans. He didn't react. Once on the bench, he didn't even glance at Allegri."
"In the 36th minute, a quick exchange on the left freed Leao to stand alone in front of Carnesecchi, but he failed to beat the goalkeeper. Rather than being encouraged by the brief bit of penetration, the whistles rained down from the fans. That missed chance was the symbol of the enormous difficulty in breaking out of the current slump, but also a lack of luck too, as if nothing will all his or the team's way."
"His dribbling and bursts of speed are now a distant memory: in this league season, Leao has never had the spark he once had. His pubalgia (or the early signs of it) haven't helped and aren't helping, but he's an 'unrecognisable' player. Now, as the report is headlined, he is 'close to leaving'."
Milan’s recent performance was disappointing, with the team often trailing and making a substitution around the hour mark while the stadium issued deafening boos. Leao’s match followed the same pattern, as he walked with his head down, drew jeers from his own fans, and did not react when taken off. He did not look at Allegri from the bench. Milan created limited chances, including a left-side exchange in the 36th minute that left Leao one-on-one with Carnesecchi, but he failed to score. Fans whistled after the miss, and Leao’s dribbling and speed have faded this season, with pubalgia affecting him. He received a cheap booking and will be banned for the Genoa game, and he is described as close to leaving.
