Doubts are growing about the future of Portuguese star Rafael Leão with the Italian club AC Milan, amid strong indications that his journey with the team may come to an end at the conclusion of the current season.

Italian reports confirm that the relationship between the two parties has reached an advanced stage of tension, with a conviction within the club that the "Leão phase" is nearing its end.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the player's departure may not just be a possibility, but a strongly considered option within AC Milan's management, especially with the player's decline in consistent performance.

Although his market value is estimated between 50 and 60 million euros, his high salary remains an additional factor that could expedite the sale process next summer.

Regarding potential offers, there is still interest from European clubs like Manchester United and Barcelona, but no strong official moves have been made so far. Meanwhile, the name of the Saudi club Al-Hilal has resurfaced strongly, as they had previously shown significant interest in the player in past periods without success in completing the deal.

The option of Al-Hilal is financially enticing, especially with the presence of coach Simone Inzaghi, in addition to the possibility of reuniting with his former teammate Theo Hernandez. However, the final decision remains tied to Leão's own desire, whether to continue in Europe or embark on a new experience outside the continent.
