The future is bright for Rafael Leão

After playing for Sporting Lisbon's youth teams, Rafael Leão was promoted to the first team in 2017. He is only 18 years old but has already had a number of matches for the first team and has also scored a number of goals. His appearance has attracted the attention of many big clubs in Europe, including AC Milan.

In August 2018, Rafael Leão officially joined AC Milan for a transfer fee of about 23 million euros. This is a huge number for a player who is only 19 years old and does not have much experience playing in the first team. However, coach Gennaro Gattuso believed in his potential and was willing to give Leão the opportunity to assert himself in Serie A.

At AC Milan, Rafael Leão is considered one of the club's most promising young talents. He possesses good speed, technique and finishing ability. With these qualities, Leão is expected to become one of Milan's top strikers in the future.

Competition achievements

Since joining AC Milan, Rafael Leão has had a good start. He made 33 appearances for the first team and scored 7 goals, including 4 goals in Serie A.

However, under coach Stefano Pioli, Leão was not used often and often had to sit on the bench. This makes his future at Milan uncertain and there are rumors that he could leave in the next summer transfer window.

Career in the national team

Along with making an impression at the club, Rafael Leão has also been called up to the Portuguese national team since 2018. He has made 3 appearances for the national team and also scored a goal in a friendly match against Andorra.

Leão's appearance in the national team is a source of pride not only for him but also for Portugal. Journalists and experts have also given much praise to Rafael Leão and hope he will continue to develop in the future.
