Unconsciously, C Ronaldo, born in February 1985, is 37 years old, although he has entered the end of his footballer's career, Ronaldo is still fighting in the front line and is an indispensable member of the front line of Manchester United and Portugal
However, today's C Luo and the peak period have been completely different, and the little Luo who does not accept defeat has to fall at the feet of time. But given its high status, finding a successor is not an easy task
If in football, Mbappe replaces Ronaldo, Vinicius replaces Ronaldo in Football, and Sancho replaces Ronaldo at Manchester United, what about the Portuguese national team?
At present, there is only one person who best meets the answer - Raphael Leo
Leo, who is only 22 years old, has dual citizenship of Angola and Portugal, and he became famous at a young age, like Cristiano Ronaldo, from the youth training of the Portuguese sports team of the Portuguese Super League giants, and has been selected for the National Team of Portugal at all ages
In the summer window of 2019, AC Milan signed it from Lille for a hefty price of 29.5 million euros, and after two seasons of running-in and adaptation, this season Leo became the absolute core and only breaking point of the Rossoneri front
So far Leo has contributed 12 goals and 6 assists in 36 games, and his value has doubled from 25 million euros a year ago to 50 million euros today
As a frontcourt all-rounder, Leo can be competent in a number of positions including forward, winger, forward, full-back and center-forward, the excellent physical conditions of 188CM and 81KG make it not too inferior in terms of confrontation, and the extremely fast speed and superb dribbling are his biggest technical characteristics
Although the contract with AC Milan will not expire until the summer of 2024, the club's senior management has begun to negotiate a contract extension with Leo, after all, Leo's annual salary is only 1.5 million at this stage
According to the Milan Sports Newspaper, the latest offer offer from AC Milan is an annual salary of 4.5 million euros and a contract until 2027. However, according to the Newspaper Repubblica, Milan are only willing to offer an annual salary of 4 million euros, and the Leo team is not satisfied with this offer, and if the two sides can not reach a renewal in the end, Milan will sell it for no less than 90 million euros
Earlier, the well-known Italian journalist Carlo Laudisa exclusively reported that Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain are ready to buy the Portuguese striker, PSG is ready to offer Milan 70 million euros, and prepares an annual salary of 6 million euros for Leo, in order to try to facilitate the deal
Obviously, the annual salary offered by the Paris side is something that Leo cannot refuse, but there is still a certain gap between the offer of 70 million euros and the expectations of Milan, after all, the CIES football observatory believes that Leo's value should be higher than its value of 50 million euros, about 70 million euros, so Milan will set the expected price at 90 million euros
