Milan drops Rafa Leão's price after Amorim's decision

Rafa Leão has spent several summers on the periphery of Milan's plans, but this time the situation has shifted decisively. According to *Gazzetta dello Sport*, manager Rubén Amorim has made it clear he wants the Portuguese winger out, prompting a dramatic collapse in the Rossoneri's asking price.

The dynamics have flipped entirely. Not long ago, Leão himself was the one exploring a fresh start: "I've spoken with the club about the possibility of trying a new experience, but I don't know what will happen," he stated. Approaches from Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe came to nothing, and continuity looked likely. Then Amorim arrived and changed everything.

Sport and dressing room concerns

The Portuguese coach has a clear blueprint: he wants wingers who link play internally and are deeply involved in collective patterns. Leão, by contrast, operates on his own wavelength. Although Amorim was aware of this from day one, he hoped to find the formula—but the mood in the dressing room has settled it. The winger is now viewed as a source of negativity following his exposure in the transfer market.

The price collapse

That reality has hammered Milan's valuation. From the €50-60 million that circulated months ago, expectations have tumbled to €35-40 million. The club's priority is also to lighten its wage bill by offloading the Portuguese international, who is contracted until 2028.
