That’s why I never thought about leaving, I want to continue being an important player for Milan now and in the future.” stressed Leao, who also referred to the Champions League final that ended in the hands of Manchester City.
“I’m very happy for Ruben Diaz and Bernardo Silva, but I’m sorry that I couldn’t be in the final with my team to lift the trophy.”
