Main conclusions

• Traoré ex-Milan: "Leo, when he's in form, wins alone. And so.
• Chaka Traoré, former Milan player, talks about Rafael Leão's talent and his ability to decide games, as well as his popularity off the field.
• L'ex Milan Traorè: "Leao when he's in shape, he wins solo. And then he's so happy all the time...".

Chaka Traoré, Partizan Belgrade striker and former Milan player, gave an interview to the website MilanNews, where he commented on Rafael Leão's future. He began by highlighting the striker's undoubted quality: "We all know that Rafa is a huge talent and a great player. However, over the years, it was difficult to see how he was managed, and how he managed himself. It's a shame, but we know that Rafa, when he's in form, can win a match on his own. We saw that against PSG." Traoré also analyzed Milan fans' perception of the player. "Yes, but that game was more of an exception than the rule. Fans don't question Leão's talent, but rather his motivation and desire to win. Does he dedicate himself to the maximum in training?" In response, Traoré stated: "Yes, Rafa is a professional. I don't know what he lacks, but I personally believe that if he wants to change things up and thinks it will be good for him, he should do it. That's a decision that only he can make, because we don't know what's going on in his mind. We only see what he does on the field and we can't judge a person by what happens off it. Maybe on the field he doesn't give his best, but we don't know what happens in his life." Asked about Leão's potential in comparison to other great players, Traoré was emphatic: "Potentially, he owes nothing to Yamal, Robben or Ribery. He has all the skills: speed, physique and technique. He has everything to become a champion, but only he can decide whether he wants to reach that level or not. It depends exclusively on him. But if he is satisfied like that...". Finally, Traoré did not fail to mention Leão's popularity off the field: "What do girls like most? Look, I didn't go out much, but I believe Rafa is very popular. But besides football, this is also due to fashion and everything that surrounds him. Furthermore, Ruben Loftus-Cheek is also well regarded." Traoré's analysis shows a close look at Leão's career, highlighting both his talents and the challenges he faces, in addition to his public image, which goes beyond the pitch.

What happens next

With increasing pressure on Leo to prove himself, he may need to focus onhis form and motivation to meet the expectations of the fans and the Milan board. The possibility of a change of scenery, as suggested by Traoré, could be an option to consider, depending on how he feels about his role at the club.
