Rafael Leão took to social media to clarify his position regarding the rumours that continue to emerge about his future. The former Sporting player assured that he is fully focused on Milan and on the upcoming challenges of the season.

“My only thought is the pitch: I’m focused on giving my all, in every match and every training session”, wrote the Portugal international, seeking to dismiss any idea of distraction caused by the news related to a possible transfer.

The winger also made a point of clarifying who is authorised to represent him off the pitch. “Just to avoid any kind of speculation and false news, I reiterate that a long time ago I entrusted the management of all my interests exclusively to my family and my lawyers,” he stressed.

“No one else is authorised to speak on my behalf. Focused on the next objectives”, added Rafael Leão. The message comes at a time when reports of a possible departure from Milan continue to circulate, although the player remains focused on the Italian club.

The Portugal international has meanwhile reportedly rebuilt a good understanding with Ruben Amorim during preparations for the new season. In the market, Leão is not interested in a move to Turkey, while Milan are demanding at least €40 million to consider negotiating the forward.
