Player's representative also upset

WHAT HAPPENED? A day after AC Milan released an official statement calling out a "harmful" and "unfounded" story in the Italian media suggesting a breakdown in contract talks with Leao, the player's lawyer has emphasised that he will not leave in the summer despite Premier League links.

WHAT THEY SAID: "There are many false and misleading informations about Rafael Leao, mainly in Italian press," his lawyer told Fabrizio Romano. "This has only one aim: too parasitize cordial and professional exchange that we have with AC Milan management regarding the extension of Rafael's contract.

"The player's priority has not changed: he wants to stay at AC Milan and continue to grow and progress in this institution and this city that he loves so much."
