The Portuguese forward spoke about the possibility he had to move to the Middle East during the last transfer window.
Saudi Arabia? No, thanks. Milan’s forward, Rafael Leao, during an interview with the Portuguese edition of GQ, also discussed the possibility of playing in the Middle East, as many of his colleagues did during the last transfer window:
“I haven’t achieved significant results in my career, to consider moving to a league like that. These days, money speaks louder, but for me, a Champions League is worth more than a salary of 10 million.”
Leao dreams of achieving his dream Milan, the club with which he reached the Champions League semifinals last year, only to be defeated by Inter:
“I believe the club is on the right path; we managed to reach the Champions League semifinals. Now the club’s goal must be to keep climbing, to keep adding, to continue to be strong. I am sure that Milan will soon return to winning a Champions League, which is our goal.
“Speaking for myself, I am young, I am a player who wants to win big things, I think winning the Champions League is every player’s dream, and we are working towards that.” As for his future in general, he doesn’t rule out anything:
“You can never say never, but I am at a club that has welcomed me very well, I have just renewed my contract; if I had plans to leave, I wouldn’t have renewed. I am focused on achieving great things at Milan.”
