Rafael Leao Trains Publicly in Brazil Amid Transfer Speculation

Rafael Leao’s holiday in Brazil has turned into a very public training session and an even louder transfer signal.

The Milan forward, fresh from the 2026 World Cup, has been working at Corinthians’ facilities, stepping onto the pitch in the Brazilian club’s jersey while on vacation. No low‑key gym work, no private sessions behind closed doors. Full kit, full visibility.

Corinthians shared the images on their official X account: Leao, 27, moving through drills in the club’s training gear, smiling, relaxed, yet clearly in work mode. He also took time to meet players and staff, chatting and posing for photos around the complex.

For Milan, the timing is delicate. Leao is due back in Italy by the end of the month to rejoin the Rossoneri and start pre-season, but his future hangs in the balance. The Portuguese winger is widely expected to leave this summer. So far, though, the market hasn’t matched the noise around his name.

At this stage, only Fenerbahce have put a concrete offer on the table, and Leao is not prepared to accept it. The interest exists, the bid is real, but the player’s stance is clear: that move does not fit his plans.

Earlier this week, he confirmed that he has already spoken with Milan about a possible exit in the coming window. No drama, just an open conversation between star and club about what comes next.

So the picture is striking. A key Milan player, openly weighing up his future, sharpening his fitness in Brazil while wearing the colours of one of South America’s giants. The images will travel fast, from São Paulo to Milanello and across Europe’s recruitment departments.

Leao will soon be back in Serie A territory, contractually tied to Milan but mentally approaching a crossroads. The question is no longer whether he is ready for a move.

It is who will finally step up with the offer he is willing to accept.
