In a video on his YouTube channel, Rafael Leao shared his opinion on Sandro Tonali's transfer to Newcastle United. Here's what he had to say:
"He is an important player for us, and I didn't expect him to leave. He made a difference in midfield, and I saw him as Gattuso's heir because he has been a Milan fan since he was a child."
Leao continued:
"He was someone I would have liked to see at Milan for many years. We have a good relationship, and I wish him good luck in the U21 Euro (the video was recorded a few days ago) and much success in his new adventure", as relayed via Milan News.
