Tari criticises Leão: Football is no longer a priority for him

Igli Tare, the former sporting director of AC Milan, has criticized Portuguese player Rafael Leão, speaking about his experience working with him during last season and pointing out that the player no longer prioritizes football as required.

Tari stated during an extensive interview with the "Sky Calcio Unplugged" podcast that he looked at Leão with admiration before getting to know him personally, adding that he discovered an exceptional character in him on a human level.

He added: "I knew Leão from the outside, and when I had the chance to get to know him personally, I thought he was an exceptional young man. I liked him a lot on a personal level, just as I liked all the others."

The Albanian sporting director continued: "But he was the player we were all expecting to deliver something extra. I believe that football is no longer a priority for him. This is the key point to understand the matter."
