Amid controversy, Rafael Leão makes drastic call and market erupts | OneFootball

Rafael Leão has once again shown signs that his future may lie away from AC Milan. The Portuguese international, who came through at Sporting, removed references to the Italian club from his social media and intensified rumors of a departure in this summer transfer window.

According to a report highlighted by Tuttomercatoweb, the forward removed all mentions of the Rossoneri club from his official Instagram profile. The player kept only a reference to his own brand, ‘Son Is Son’, and added a new profile picture with an enigmatic feel.

The move comes after Rafael Leão said, before the start of the 2026 World Cup, that he had already given "everything" to AC Milan. The winger’s words had already raised doubts about his future in Italy, a scenario now strengthened by the change made on social media.

Rafael Leão is now preparing to travel to Brazil, where he will have a fan event in Rio de Janeiro on Friday, July 24. Meanwhile, the signs left by the former Sporting player continue to stir up the market.
