In these final days of the transfer window, the situation surrounding Rafael Leao could finally be resolved. The Portuguese winger is on his way out of AC Milan, and Aston Villa have stepped up their efforts in recent hours.
Leao has opened the door to the move, and the two clubs are in contact as they look to reach an agreement over the player's transfer fee. Jorge Mendes is also playing a key role in the operation, having put the two clubs in contact, as relayed via Sky Sport Italia's journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.
What did Amorim say about Leao after the victory against Torino?
"I don’t know if Leão will be with the team for the next game because I don’t know if he’ll be able to recover in time. If he can be there, then he’ll be very important because every player in the squad is very important. That is, when he is ready to play. If he isn’t ready to play, then he’s not that important (laughs). So I don’t know if he’ll be important, but if he can help us, even better. But I’ll repeat: today, it’s not just about Cissé. Saelemaekers also showed great passion when he came on. Moreira was also on the bench. Leão will be important when he recovers, but I don’t know if he’ll be there for the next game.”
