Rafael Leao renewed his contract towards the end of last season and also decided to take the No.10 shirt following Brahim Diaz’s departure from the club. This upcoming season, the winger will have more responsibilities.
Leao was undoubtedly the big star for Milan last season, showing off his qualities both in Serie A and the Champions League. He got 16 goals as well as 15 assists to his name and signed the renewal towards the end of the season.
As highlighted by Tuttosport (via MilanNews), the Portuguese star will wear the No.10 shirt next season and he will also have greater responsibilities. He will need to act even more like a leader for this young Milan side, using his qualities in the best way for the team.
There are few doubts regarding him ahead of the upcoming season, also based on what we have seen in the pre-season, but it’s still an important period for the winger. With a player of his calibre, Milan can certainly dream of the second star.
