In an interview with Sport TV Portugal, the Portuguese striker stated that he feels proud of what he has achieved with the red and black jersey, but stressed that the time has come for a new challenge outside of Italy.
“I’m proud because I made history at Milan, but I want a new chapter. I feel ready to play in another league,” said Leao.
The 26-year-old explained that the decision to leave is not related to any dissatisfaction with the club, but to the desire to try a new experience in his career.
“I did my best for Milan, but it’s time to try another challenge,” the Portuguese added.
Since his transfer to Milan, Leao has become one of the most important players in the team and one of the most dangerous strikers in European football.
