Rafael Leao and the big deals for Saudi Arabia: “Cristiano told me…” – Milan

The AC Milan forward recalls his conversations with the national team captain

Rafael Leao assumed he wasn’t entirely surprised by the recent signings made by Saudi clubs, not least because he had been “warned” by Cristiano Ronaldo. This was revealed by the AC Milan striker in the latest video shared on the social network YouTube, where he answers some questions from his fans. “I’m surprised… I’m not surprised… more or less! Because I spoke with Cristiano about the tournament, when we played for Inter. [Supertaça de Itália, em janeiro] “Soon the big players will come here,” he told me. He heard some news. Therefore, I was somewhat thinking that the Arab market would revolutionize, because they have great financial strength. Cristiano also told me that the league would become very strong. With the signings we’re seeing, I think it’s going to be an interesting league,” said the striker. Leao also spoke about Sandro Tonali’s departure to Newcastle and showed some sadness. He was an important player for us, I didn’t expect you to leave. He made the difference in midfield and I saw him as the heir of Gattuso, because he’s always been a Milan fan. I’ve seen him in the club for many years,” I suppose.
