About this person

Rafael Leão came through Sporting CP's academy and broke into the first team in 2018, lifting the Taça da Liga that season. Then a mob of ultras invaded the club's facilities, and Leão tore up his contract on the spot. He landed at Lille on a free transfer, spent one year in Ligue 1, and moved to AC Milan in August 2019. At Milan his dribbling and pace made him a fixture on the left, and in 2021-22 he helped win the Serie A title and was named the league's Most Valuable Player. He stayed seven seasons before joining Galatasaray in 2026. For Portugal he won the under-17 European Championship in 2016, debuted for the senior side in 2021, and played at two World Cups and Euro 2024, adding a Nations League title in 2025.
