Manfredini: Leão is more of a problem than a reliable player
The ongoing saga surrounding Rafael Leão's future at AC Milan seems far from over. Christian Manfredini has voiced his perspective on the Portuguese winger's dependability should he remain with the club.
Will Leão stay or will he go? This has been the recurring question of AC Milan's summer. The Portuguese international, who at the start of the summer showed disrespect to the club with interviews clearly stating his desire to leave, has now completely changed his tune. This shift comes as not a single bit of interest has materialized from Premier League teams. Christian Manfredini discussed this on the Arena Sportium program.
"I believe Milan has many problems. A new coach has arrived, thrust into a different environment, and needs to understand how things work. And Leão, in my opinion, is more of a problem than a player you can rely on. He has indicated many times that he wants to leave; now he's stayed, but with what mindset will he remain? How will the fans see him, how will they help him? I believe Milan has many issues to resolve, a great many. And I don't think they will aim to win in the first year, but rather focus on building something."
