La Gazzetta dello Sport focused today on Rafael Leao's form and asked the question: "Where has the real Rafa gone?"
Everyone is asking themselves this, especially at Milanello, where they are seeing a very nervous young man, as demonstrated by the strong reaction the Portuguese had with Stefano Pioli when he was substituted against Napoli
The clarification between the two, however, took place overnight, between post-match and the return journey to Milan, with the coach explaining his choice to his striker.
The Italian newspaper, in this morning's print edition, revealed that Leao is going through a difficult moment: according to the rumours, there is great stress and pressure on him because there's always expectations for a goal or a great performance from him. But not only that. In fact, it seems that there is an issue between his French lawyer Ted Dimvula on one hand and Jorge Mendes on the other hand.
It seems that the super agent, Jorge Mendes, wants to be the only representative of Rafael Leao in the future while Leao's father wants the presence of his friend and lawyer Ted Dimvula.
