According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Leao is beginning to accept his limited options and has opened the door to a Turkish transfer. Reports suggest the winger recently visited Turkiye on holiday with his family to evaluate his potential new environment.
Social media activity has further fueled speculation surrounding his departure. Leao scrubbed all references to Milan from his profile, replacing his picture with a spotlight graphic and keeping only a reference to his personal clothing brand, Son Is Son.
