AC Milan fans become used to seeing Rafael Leão terrorising Serie A - and indeed European - defences from the left wing, with the Portuguese attacker having provided a total of 26 goal contributions (13 goals, 13 assists) in 44 appearances in all competitions this season. Yet it seems as if he himself is lining up a move for a man who could steal his place in the starting line-up…none other than Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappé.

Leão: Mbappé is already a Milan fan

The former Porto man revealed that he had “invited” the France captain to join him at San Siro and reminded us all of Mbappé's on-the-record declaration that he was a Milan fan. “He [Mbappé] is the best player I’ve come across. He’s already a Rossonero, he should come to Milan!”. Although Leão’s comments were very much tongue in cheek, not that that would stop the club’s fans’ minds from racing...again.

At this year’s The Best FIFA Football Awards, Mbappé was asked by an Italian journalist if he would ever think about playing in Serie A. “Only for Milan”, came the response.
