Not Going Away
In an interview with El Chringuito, Furlani confirmed that Leao will not be moving to Barcelona. He ensured that the winger will continue his career with the Rossoneri.
“Rafael Leao will not leave AC Milan this summer,” Furlani said.
“Will he move to Barcelona? No way! He will not leave this club, and we are 100% sure of that.”
Loyal to AC Milan
Furlani also dismissed rumours that Leao would ask AC Milan to sell him this summer.
