Rafael Leao, a Portugal winger, has expressed his gratitude to AC Milan as he prepares to join Turkish side Galatasaray. Leao, who has been a key player for the Italian club, has scored 80 goals and provided 65 assists in 291 appearances across all competitions.
During his time at Milan, Leao helped the team win the Serie A title in 2021/22 and the Italian Super Cup in the 2024/25 season. He has also developed a strong bond with the fans, who supported him even during the tough times.
Leao's contract with Milan runs until June 2028, and the club has reportedly accepted a €45 million offer from Galatasaray for his transfer.
In an emotional farewell, Leao said goodbye to his teammates after seven years at the club. He expressed his appreciation for the opportunities he had at Milan and acknowledged the role the club has played in his growth as a player.
Leao's departure from Milan comes as the club is undergoing a transition period, with new manager Ruben Amorim taking the reins in June after a disappointing campaign last season.
