In the last few hours, statements by Rafael Leao, forward for Milan and Portugal, have continued to circulate on social media. He spoke on the Brazilian podcast Podpah about an alleged veto against Inter before his transfer to Milan. “I said no, I stood my ground. Even though they were playing in the Champions League. No, I don’t want to go, man, I said. I don’t want to go to Inter.”

Tancredi Palmeri, journalist for Sportitalia, commented on the player’s statements.
