Open the current Serie A standings, you will find that Serie A has returned to a familiar situation, Inter, Juventus, and AC Milan are in the top three positions in the league, which is also a very familiar competition for many old fans. However, compared to Inter and Juventus, AC Milan has actually been opened up by their opponents, with the same number of league games, they are as many as 11 points behind Inter and 7 points behind Juventus, which is almost a difficult number to cross in a short period of time in the league.
AC Milan's slump in form is not unique to this season, and their performances last season also fell short of the team's expectations, and the former AC Milan were often able to pick up points against underdogs in the league. However, AC Milan will also lose points when facing teams that are relatively low in the league rankings such as Udinese and Lecce, which is also the key reason for the team's decline in the rankings. And an inconsistent AC Milan team will also have a big impact on the players.
According to the news of Italy, many players in the current AC Milan squad are facing the crisis of leaving, some players are actively seeking the possibility of leaving, and some are ready to be the team. First up is the team's top scorer Olivier Giroud, the 37-year-old who has been in good form this season, scoring eight goals and providing five assists in the league. However, Giroud, whose contract is about to expire, has no plans to renew his contract with AC Milan and is ready to withdraw from European football.
In addition, the team's number one star, Portuguese winger Rafael Leao, has just signed a contract extension with the team before the start of the season, but the players are not satisfied with the team's current squad configuration and the performance of his teammates. Moreover, when Leao renewed his contract, AC Milan promised to build a team with Leao as the core to have a chance to win the championship, but it was obvious that they did not do so, which also led to Leao not being satisfied with the current situation of the team, and a player like Leao, if he is in a bad mood, will naturally not be in too good shape.
According to England**, Liverpool are discussing the possibility of signing Rafael Leao, and they hope to make a swap deal with AC Milan to send their left striker Diaz in exchange for Portuguese winger Rafael Leao. Since Diaz came to Liverpool, due to injuries and the impact of form, the strength of the player has not been fully played, and he is obviously not important enough in the current Liverpool squad, if Leao can be replaced, it will be a very cost-effective deal for Liverpool.
