Overview
- Rafael Leao said he will make a decision on his AC Milan future only after the World Cup, and he scored in Portugal’s 5-0 win over Uzbekistan, a match reported on June 23.
- AC Milan hired Ruben Amorim in mid-June and reports say the new coach and Leao have exchanged messages and discussed tactical ideas, a contact that could influence Leao’s choice.
- Leao previously signalled he wanted a new challenge after the 2025–26 season, but no formal transfer offers have emerged so far during the current window.
- Leao is reported to be under contract until June 2028 with a €175 million release clause, a term that gives Milan leverage and makes an immediate sale unlikely without a big bid.
- The decision will shape Milan’s summer plans because Amorim plans to evaluate the squad before making transfer moves, and Leao’s World Cup form could restore his market value or persuade him to stay.
