Leao should have been sold by now.
No, I don’t believe Leao has shown enough to be worthy to risk this on. If he and Bennacer were insistent on being turds last summer we should have sold. We can’t get into the habit of trying to “convince people of our projects” and go through these negotiations mid season (that itself is already a distraction, we’ve seen with Kessie and now Leao)
Literally doesn’t matter what his agent says, it’s naive to even bring those things up.
The fact is he’s not renewed and we are losing more leverage by day.
One of the few posters here that isn’t delusional or decrepit. If Milan were left to these people’s devices, Seedorf would be partnering tonali in midfield in 2023.
Rightfully saying leao should’ve been sold in the summer is a blasphemous claim by guys who think Milan is still on the same level as the top clubs. Nostalgia doesn’t win silverware nor does it put money in the club’s coffers.
We could’ve sold him in the summer and invested that into fixing our squad so we would be just that, a squad. Not this weird, quasi-team that is more of a spectacle entitled
leao and the band.
We had so much leverage in the summer. We had so many suitors we could’ve duped into paying a massive fee if our directors were shrewd like directors of other clubs. Other clubs are enjoying the fruits of nurturing and developing these raw talents by being thoroughly compensated while we lose out yet again.
Infirmary patient Madueke was sold for a nice fee and we won’t even get that much because leao’s value is falling by the day. Every player that these guys compare to leao was sold for a sizable fee and we will lose him for a paltry fee or for even free which is the norm rather than the exception in Paul’s tenure.
Please, sell this guy in the summer. It would be even better if we can get him to renew and then sell him because given his attitude, he will plateau soon or even regress as he marginally has this season.
Too many nostalgia merchants with a clouded perception of the club. Get with the times. Those who care for the club will continue to question the erroneous decisions of the management.
