‘I don’t like the weather there!’ – Rafael Leao delivers Chelsea transfer blow and claims Serie A is ‘easy’ for him
Despite claiming Serie A is “easy” for him, Milan forward Rafael Leao dealt Chelsea a transfer blow after admitting to not liking London weather.
WHAT HAPPENED? The Portugal international is enjoying another stellar season in Milan and is arguably one of the most sought-after forwards in world football. Big spenders Chelsea appeared to be top of the pile having been linked with a move since the summer, although Leao pointed out one particular stumbling block which could put the brakes on a potential deal.
WHAT THEY SAID: “I don’t like the weather there. I went shopping the first time I went to London,” the 23-year-old joked to Portuguese outlet A Bola. “[In Milan I like] the Duomo (barbershop), shopping malls, nightclubs and the food.”
Despite appearing settled in Italy, Leao added that their top flight may not be challenging enough.
