Rafael Leão in trouble; ex-Sporting linked to vice scandal in Italy | OneFootball

The Italian press revealed this Wednesday some of the players involved in the scandal linked to the prostitution ring dismantled in the country, which involved businessmen and Serie A footballers. And, according to the list in question, Rafael Leão appears to be one of the names connected.

According to Tuttosport, alongside other Portuguese players such as Nuno Tavares, of Lazio, and Dany Mota, of Monza, he is also included. The same source explains that the investigation found dozens of keywords that will now be analysed by the Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office and which, by all indications, refer to the surnames of the players involved.

It is not, however, guaranteed that the players mentioned on this list actually made use of services such as stays in luxury hotels and paid sexual relations, as the newspaper in question argues that some of them may only have attended parties at nightclubs in the Italian city.

In addition to active players, there are also some former footballers included in the investigation. Among the more than 60 names mentioned, the Italian press cites, by way of example, Olivier Giroud, Achraf Hakimi, Dean Huijsen, Arthur Melo, Ranocchia, Ruggeri, Skriniar and Soualiho Meité.

It should be noted that, with regard to Rafael Leão, the Portuguese international winger is expected to leave Milan this summer, after the 2026 World Cup. Despite having a contract valid until 2028, the Rossoneri club believes this could be the right timing to secure a significant financial return from the former Sporting player.
