JAKARTA - Rafael Leao's father, Antonio Leao, is trying to make his son last longer with AC Milan. This is clearly bad news for Chelsea, Barcelona, or Real Madrid who care about the services of the player.
Antonio is currently in the process of extending his son's contract with the Rossoneri. Leao, said the father, already felt very comfortable at Milan.
"He feels very comfortable at Milan because his culture is similar. The Rossoneri have done a lot for him. He has been the best player there. He is the best," Antonio told Record.
Antonio is aware of the interest from Madrid, Chelsea and Barcelona. It's just that at this time he wants his son to focus on the giant based in San Siro.
"There is still time until 2024 and we will take care of everything, without having to think about Chelsea, Barcelona or Real Madrid," said Antonio.
"He likes being in Italy. He likes Italians, who the Portuguese don't have. He won the award as the best player in Serie A because he was the best," he added. The player was named the best player in Serie A last season after his 11 goals in 34 games helped the Rossoneri win their first Scudetto since 2010/2011.
Leao's contract at the San Siro expires in 2024, but he continues to be linked to top European clubs who are consistently trying to persuade him.
Leao has scored six goals in Milan's 14 matches in Serie A this season. He also scored one goal in six matches in the European Champions League.
He is among 26 Portuguese players for the World Cup in Qatar. Leao are likely to feature in their opening match against Ghana on November 24.
