The ‘greatest winger in the world’ is now open to joining the English Premier League, which puts Mudryk and Sterling in a lot of trouble
Rafael Leao, hailed as the “best winger in the world,” has signaled his readiness to transition to the English Premier League, putting Mykhailo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling in a precarious position.
After a five-year stint with AC Milan, Leao is now contemplating a move to a new team and league, as reported by Foot Mercato. Feeling he has exhausted his tenure with Milan, he is eyeing either the Premier League or La Liga for his next chapter.
If Leao opts for England, Chelsea could emerge as a potential suitor for the 24-year-old winger. Speculation linking him to Chelsea has resurfaced, given his previous association with the club.
The potential acquisition of Leao by Chelsea spells trouble for Mudryk and Sterling, both of whom have faltered in recent seasons. Mudryk, in particular, has struggled with inconsistency, forcing him into a substitute role. Should Chelsea pursue Leao, offloading one of these underperforming players could pave the way financially.
Leao’s prowess as a one-on-one specialist, underscored by his agility and dribbling skills, solidifies his reputation as the premier winger in today’s football landscape.
With 28 appearances for Milan this season, Leao has already made significant contributions, tallying nine assists and six goals. As he contemplates his next move, the prospect of joining the Premier League looms large, potentially reshaping the fortunes of both players and clubs involved.
