Rafa Leao has bid an emotional farewell to AC Milan ahead of his expected move to Galatasaray, saying he cried a lot and that his love for the club will never end. The Portuguese forward spoke to Sky from the stands at San Siro during the match against Venezia, where he went to greet his teammates. "I cried a lot, it's a difficult moment." I said goodbye to my teammates after seven years with them, Leao said.

"The club has always helped me, helped me grow, and representing a great club like Milan made me understand what the top level is. It's time to say goodbye. Leao expressed regret that he could not say farewell on the pitch in front of the fans.

"I would have liked to say goodbye in a different way, maybe being out on the pitch one more time in front of the supporters, who helped me a lot, especially in the difficult moments, he said. "I will be in the history of the club because I know what I did here. I will carry in my heart all those who helped me, I can only thank them.

Reflecting on the decision, Leao said: "These are moments when you have to make choices, it's not a love that has ended, because the love I have for Milan will never end. I will watch from afar. He also praised the team and coach Ruben Amorim, with whom he worked only briefly.
