Rafael Leao's Future: Milan Star Spotted at Corinthians Training

Rafael Leao’s summer has barely started, yet the images already feel like a teaser for his next chapter.

On holiday in Brazil after the 2026 World Cup, the Milan forward turned up at Corinthians’ training complex, boots laced, working on the pitch in the São Paulo club’s colours. No sponsor event, no soft launch. Just a 27-year-old star putting in a session in a different shirt.

Corinthians shared the footage on their official X account: Leao in a club jersey, moving through drills at the training centre, smiling as he greeted players and staff. For a fanbase always alert to the slightest transfer hint, it was the kind of clip that travels fast and sparks questions even faster.

For now, the facts are simpler than the noise. Leao is due back in Italy at the end of the month to rejoin Milan and begin pre-season with the Rossoneri. He remains under contract, he remains their marquee attacker, and his immediate schedule still runs through Milanello.

Yet the backdrop has shifted. The Portuguese winger is expected to leave Milan this summer and has already sat down with the club to discuss a possible exit, a conversation he confirmed earlier this week. The market, though, has not rushed to his door. So far, the only concrete offer on the table has come from Fenerbahce, and Leao is not prepared to accept it.

So the situation hangs in a familiar modern limbo: a player openly contemplating a move, a giant club braced for change, and a transfer window still waiting for its decisive bid.

In the meantime, the images from Brazil linger. A Milan star in a Corinthians shirt, working through his holiday, keeping sharp while the speculation swirls.

The next jersey he pulls on in a competitive match will say far more about where his story goes from here.
