Rafael Leao

So who would be our RW then? Leao is another LW. Grealish will end up on the bench

Foden and palmer

Leao be to exspensive more likely to be diaby.

Milan just got taken over by Redbird.

Leao was in contract dispute with Sporting after the training ground incident (fans stormed the place), he negated he contract and moved to Lille on a free. Sporting sued, he owes them €20m

Had a google and the Yankees are involved. Don’t suppose they will come out of owning NYCFC to focus on this so we can stop being tide to their stadium and get a proper ground for NYCFC

I like Leao and if Halaand did not join I would love him to come.

But since Halaand is here and we have to build the team around Halaand. I cannot see how to fit two very tall players together in the front line and still keep Pep's pressing system working. Unless Pep does not extend his contract and a manager with a different system comes.


I would expect if Pep stays, we won't buy any heavy built attacking players for a while and bring more small build (180cm max) players to fill in the workrate gap.

Milan would be difficult to deal with…. Unless his contract runs down.

Italian media is putting him on the market to Chelsea with two unwanted Chelsea players going in the other way, worth about £30 million each no overall price. it is most likely just marketing but what is interesting is, despite the takeover he is not getting what he wants with the contract extension, that being his £18 million payment to sporting and a £100,000 a week pay rise, taking his pay to around £ 150,000, for me this looks like Leao is going to see his contract out get a big signing on fee and a big wage or AC are going to sell for the best price they can get this summer.

Looks like what Michelangelo would send in a WhatsApp group after Rafael posted a funny meme.

There is not a player that isn’t linked with Chelsea. I can’t see Chelsea signing both Leao and Nkunku.

I dont know much about him, but his speed seems to be his strength, I dont get why being 'heavy built' and tall would be an issue, surely its another strength? I've never heard of a player being too tall and strong for his postition, I have heard of players being criticised for being too small and weak eg Defenders like Martinez
