Striker who owes Sporting €45m could be sold for €80m this summer | OneFootball

After Rafael Leão refused a hug from coach Massimiliano Allegri during the game between Lazio and Milan last Sunday, pushing him away before sitting on the substitutes' bench, where he arrived kicking and quite irritated, the Portuguese international might be playing his last games for the "Rossoneri" and could leave in the summer for an almost negligible amount.

According to information from the Italian newspaper "Gazetta dello Sport," Milan is willing to listen to offers for Rafael Leão: "So far, Leão has scored nine goals in the league, very few for someone who is the team's star and the highest-paid player in the squad. Much more is expected," it reads.

The Portuguese international may leave for more than half of his release clause of 170 million euros. The 26-year-old athlete, who is under contract until 2028, could leave for just 80 million euros, an amount that Milan is willing to accept.

It is worth remembering that Rafael Leão has to pay a debt of 45 million euros to Sporting following the unilateral termination by the Portuguese in 2018, even after the payment of almost 20 million by Lille, the club where the Almada native moved after the invasion of Alcochete.

In the 2025/26 season, while playing for Milan, Rafael Leão – valued at 70 million euros – has played 24 matches: 22 in Serie A and two in the Coppa Italia. In the 1,601 minutes he was on the field, the former Sporting player scored 10 goals and made two assists.
