I said all season they built the system around supposedly helping the defense and just leaving the rest of the team out to dry. In the end it didn’t even help the defense because they still couldn’t defend to save their lives against fucking Cagliari.
🚨 Rafa Leão: “For how the team worked during season and how we played I do not think I was put in condition to play in the position that allows me make the difference this season”.
“I played for 4-5 months with an injury, add to this playing out of position what made me reach end of May exhausted”, told SportTV.
With the way the current group is playing there is absolutely zero reason he shouldn’t be given a chance to start in July. You could argue it should’ve happened in January
In there: The Philadelphia Union want to integrate USYNT center back Neil Pierre into the first team as his loan from Lyngby expires, per sources.
Interest remains abroad and another loan is possible. TBD.

Terrible timing, but probably for the best. I love him and he’s brilliant on his day but he clearly isn’t mentally capable of being the focal point on the team.
Maybe he thrives on a team where there’s other competent attackers, though his attitude has been worrying.
🚨💣 BREAKING: Rafa Leão has decided to LEAVE AC Milan this summer. 🔴⚫️👋🏾
“I’m proud as I made history at AC Milan but I want new chapter. I feel ready to play in another league” 👀
“I did my best for Milan, but it’s time to try another challenge”, told @sporttvportugal.
If we return to a back four you could move Saelemaekers back up, but let’s be real he is NOT a top quality attacker by any means. I’d rather he fully make the switch to right back and we use Bartesaghi as a stay at home left back instead.
Not sure where Milan go from here. Leao, despite his talent, always felt like a player coaches were struggling to work around. No one else in the squad can break a game open like him besides Pulisic (at a much lower frequency). You could argue this team needs AT LEAST 3 attackers
Gimenez may be gone, they don’t trust Camarda, Leao gone, meaning the only two attackers in the team would be Pulisic and Nkunku. That’s insane, and I have no clue what they’re going to do with the limited budget that they have. Gimenez staying doesn’t change much either.
Bukayo Saka completed four passes, did not take a shot on goal & did not create a single chance in nearly 85 minutes of the Champions League Final before he was substituted.
@kevvwill I’m not sure in what world that’s not a yellow, it’s not like it’s the ref’s fault he wants to commit a challenge that stupid. Very very lucky
🚨 Massimo Calvelli will be having more decision making power within Milan’s organizational structure. There are very good chances that Calvelli, at least in an interim role, becomes Milan’s new Chief Executive Officer

Leaving Bournemouth to take over the 15th place team in England is bizarre, but what’s more embarrassing is that Milan are now a less attractive option than the 15th place team in England.
