Rafael Leão dismisses AC Milan exit rumors: 'Maybe you are the problem, because you lie'

Rafael Leão, the Portuguese forward for AC Milan, has forcefully denied reports circulating in Italian media that he is at risk of leaving the club due to a perceived negative impact on the team's dressing room. The rumors suggested that new coach Rúben Amorim harbored doubts about Leão's attitude during the initial training sessions.

According to reports, Leão's potential departure was not solely based on tactical considerations but also on an assessment of his influence within the squad. These claims were amplified on social media, prompting a swift and direct response from the player himself.

Leão took to social media to address the speculation, writing, "Maybe you are the problem, because you lie." This statement clearly conveyed his strong disagreement with the narrative presented by the media. Despite his public rebuttal, his future at Milan remains a subject of speculation.

Italian media have indicated that the club might be considering selling the 26-year-old winger, with previous asking prices ranging from 50 to 60 million euros. However, reports suggest Milan might now be willing to negotiate for a fee between 40 and 45 million euros to facilitate a transfer. Galatasaray has been mentioned as a potential suitor in recent weeks. Leão has not been formally excluded from the team by Amorim, leaving his situation at the club open.
