There were rumours shared by La Gazzetta dello Sport about the collapse of the talks between AC Milan and Rafael Leao. The newspaper's headline in today's print edition reads the following:
"Leão Milan total break up."
The Rossoneri club issued a statement earlier about the article in which they said that these rumours damage the club and player:
"With regard to the article published today by the newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport entitled: 'Leão Milan total break up', AC Milan would like to point out that negotiations with Rafael Leão have not been interrupted. The journalistic narration of an alleged frost between the parties is not only totally unfounded but also harmful to the Club and its player. In fact, AC Milan continues the dialogue with Leão and his entourage in a serene and professional atmosphere."
