Rafael Leao will leave AC Milan this summer unless something miraculous happens and an exit from Serie A appears more likely than not. There is nothing that suggests Leao will stay at Milan this summer. It is a reality that seems unavoidable at this moment and it probably has been that way for a little longer. Indeed, everything points to the relationship ending.
According to a report by Gianluigi Longari (h/t Mundo Deportivo), Andres Cuenca, a left-footed centre-back and one of the most promising defensive prospects at FC Barcelona, has attracted interest from clubs in Serie A. Cuenca, 18, is part of the Barça Atletic setup currently, while he has already made his senior debut for the Blaugrana under Hansi Flick during the 2024/25 season.
Past their prime? Certainly. But over the hill? Hardly. Modric, at 40 years old, had started Milan's first four league games, taking more touches (329) and creating more shooting opportunities (19, per fbref.com) than any teammate. De Bruyne, at 34, was the only Napoli player with more than one goal so far this season, having struck in wins over Sassuolo and Fiorentina.
