Rafael Leao has triggered conversations about his future after the forward revealed he intends to leave Milan this summer.
"I want to try a new challenge, in a new league," Leao told Portuguese media outlet Sport TV following a disastrous end to the season which saw Milan miss out on UEFA Champions League football.
Massimiliano Allegri paid the price for Milan's shortcomings, although he's managed to fall upwards into the Napoli job, and a huge summer is on the horizon for the Rossoneri.
Signed from Lille in 2019, Leao's racked up 145 goal contributions in 291 appearances during a productive seven-year stay with Milan, which includes winning the Scudetto in 2022 and the Supercoppa Italiana in 2024.
The forward is reported to be available for a fee of around £43 million this summer and will represent Portugal at this summer's World Cup.
We've assessed Leao's next club market and where the Portuguese star may venture next.
