The Portuguese forward has a contract until 2028 with Milan
Rafael Leao, forward for AC Milan, has stated he has no intention of leaving the team anytime soon, despite rumours of interest from Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.
According to recent reports from Spain, Milan may consider offers for the 24-year-old this summer, and Chelsea are expected to rekindle their interest in Leao. As they get ready for life without Kylian Mbappe, Paris Saint-Germain has also been mentioned as a potential suitors.
But Leao has decisively dispelled any doubt about his prospects before it could spiral out of control.
āMy future is very clear and itās here at AC Milanā, he told Corriere della Sera. āIām here and I still have a four-year contract. āMilan helped me when I was in a very difficult situation, they stayed close to me. I donāt forget. Iām loyal. I arrived as a boy, here I grew up as a man and as a footballer. I want to win again, my head is here.ā
āTo grow, I have to win important things, like the Champions League or the Europa League,ā he continued. āGood things are forgotten too quickly, so you have to win every year, as much as possible. āWhen youāre at Milan, you have to do it. Itās not a choice, itās a duty ā to leave your name in history.ā
Leao stated that getting Milan back to the top of the European rankings is his priority, even though he acknowledged his desire to compete for Champions League success.
