Indeed, several talks with big names were planned.
Leao’s immediate and further future
Daniele Longo, via @MilanPosts on X, reports that the Portuguese did not train today ahead of the game against Torino. As a result, he won’t feature. So, perhaps that gifts the starting spot to Alphadjo Cisse, with Christian Pulisic also a question mark.
Beyond this weekend, some information on his future is also provided. A suitable transfer is sought for him, but failing that, Ruben Amorim may have to ‘carefully reintegrate him’. Of course, this may be a difficulty with the tactical and technical issues.
Nevertheless, it would have to be done to avoid further drops in his value. There is still time to sort a transfer and from these suggestions, it seems all parties are aligned on a desire to part. However, something needs to come to fruition quickly.
