: one more earthquake within the Rossoneri camp, coming at a really troublesome time for the membership and its followers.
The sweetness of the message, nonetheless, just isn’t sufficient to reduce the unfavourable impression these phrases could have on the Satan’s instant future. And the followers sensed it immediately: cut up between happiness over a possible sale and anger on the timing chosen.
Leao and Milan deserved a special farewell
The intention to go away Milan — in response to the data that has emerged — was not communicated to the membership however straight throughout Sport TV’s dwell broadcast, furthermore in a casual context and with out agreeing something with the membership.

“Unprofessional even in saying goodbye” somebody dared to say on social media (adopted by a flood of likes), and it’s actually an exaggerated, knee-jerk opinion, however on the similar time it accommodates a grain of fact.
After 7 years collectively, a Scudetto, a Serie A MVP award, and 291 matches for Milan, Rafael Leao’s farewell ought to have been dealt with higher. Precisely: professionalism was wanted in the whole lot — timing and method.
A press convention, maybe protecting quiet with a purpose to deal with the World Cup, or a dialogue with the “new” Milan after the administration overhaul. As an alternative, this farewell gives the look of a possibility seized by Leao, as a result of in any case ‘there are now not any administrators to reply to’.
The interview lowers his worth. And Cardinale…
Luckily for Milan and Leao himself, is within the working to have a wonderful World Cup: an necessary showcase after a failed season. As a result of all of the situations are there for a cut-price sale: a contract expiring in 2027, a horrible relationship with the followers, a wage of 5 million internet (+ bonuses), and a declining profession regardless of enjoying in Serie A, the league the place each pacey attacker makes a distinction.

On the opposite facet there may be the conduct of Cardinale and the administration: the stalled renewal and the failure to take a stand after the whistles aimed on the participant left little room for doubt: Leao was expendable within the membership’s plans and nobody did something to make it appear in any other case — not less than to potential patrons.
The sum of those elements led to Leao’s interview: a communication personal aim that might get even worse within the coming weeks.
Leao vs followers: the connection can nonetheless worsen
Now the followers’ frustration may improve for one more purpose: Leao’s attainable vacation spot, as he has admirers in Turkey and positively in , locations the Portuguese participant has repeatedly rejected. Groups, nonetheless, that pay each golf equipment and gamers effectively.

If Leao digs in to go away ‘when he desires’ and ‘the place he desires’, rejecting astronomical gives with a purpose to strain Milan, then the connection between followers and participant may really hit all-time low.
A paradoxical state of affairs by which all events will in all probability get lower than they may have and half methods in a worse method than they deserved. Possession, participant, and followers. Milan is in deep water, and there may be nonetheless no land in sight from the bow.
