Rafael Leao hits back at report of Milan row with Amorim: ‘You lying’ Rafael Leao hit back at a report on social media claiming that he is seen as a ‘negative influence’ by Milan coach Ruben Amorim. ‘You lying.’ The Portugal international isn’t particularly active on X, formerly known as Twitter, but he took action when spotting a report reflecting La Gazzetta dello Sport’s story.

It is true that the winger has been left out of the squad for today’s friendly match against Manchester United , but that is down to a minor injury and not a disciplinary matter. It’s also fair to say that both the player and club have been trying to find a seller all summer, but the only low proposals so far have come from Galatasaray, Besiktas and Fenerbahce. None of them came close to the original asking price of €50m plus €10m in add-ons, so the Rossoneri are set to lower their expectations and could let him leave for as little as €40m.
