Rafael Leão

[ZenI]

Nah, pass.

I'm surprised you rate him, he couldnt have possibly looked more disinterested on the pitch this season. And he's always been lazy. Flick has worked wonders, but sometimes that's just how a player is.

I suppose you can say that I love the idea of Rafael Leao more than the actual product on the pitch.

One of the quickest/most explosive wingers in football, a good dribbler and tall and physical at 1.88m which makes him impossible to bully off the ball when he's running full steam. Few players like that.

But then again you have the lazy attitude where he is unfocused and does silly things with the inconsistent performances.

Talent/ability wise Leao is on par with Vinicius, but attitude creates a huge gap between those 2

Vini's attiude is shit aswell. See this season.

He complains too much but is willing to work and improve himself

He also doesnt track back that much. Becomes a ball watcher when disposesed.
Talent-wise, I don't know if Leao is similar.

He's got talent but his football IQ is poor. And no it's not racism or because he's black or anything. When I have watched him he's made the wrong decisions often, like Timo Werner or Darwin Nunez do (obviously he's a lot more gifted than them). Plus he drifts in and out of games despite having all the athletic gifts.

80 million is too much for me, with the potential drawbacks.

But yes, he has a lot of ability.

I think it's situational and related to attitude. He wants to show off and do fancy tricks, wow moves for no reason at all

He's *the* one player that just need to play direct without no fancy tricks. When he does that he is very hard to stop.
Because it's not like he's Ronaldinho or Neymar to be able to do all that. He thinks he is them though that is an issue.

130M lmao Milan must have snorted a lot of coke to demand that. Is this guy really one of the 4 options to strengthen our attack? Because he's even more unfeasible than Diaz.

Milan would always ask +100M, why even speculate about him? We're not spending such cash on a squad player, especially on Leao - dude is mid.

 

[DonAK]

Me on Leao to Barca bandwagon

Me on Leao to Barca bandwagon

It's a trap

 

[jamrock]

A massive trap

He's a cheat code as a sub though.

 

[MonteCuler]

If Flick wanted him we'd be all over him already, clearly he doesn't want to bother fixing his attitude (who knows if you can even do it)

He will leave Milan now and go somewhere. His stocks are low, it's good time to take a bet on him. Bayern might do it. He could turn out like Kvara for PSG. Environment change can do wonders. But tbh Kvara was always a better professional.
