Rafael Leao will play an important role for AC Milan in tomorrow's derby against Inter, as despite being young, he's the most experienced derby man on the team. Today's edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see the features image) has focused on the battle of the No.10s, namely Lautaro Martinez for Inter and Rafael Leao for Milan. The latter has featured in an impressive 20 derbies so far, making tomorrow's clash his 21st.
Harry Kane is fully focused on Bayern and very happy at the club. There will be talks over a new contract, so before mentioning any other clubs, the negotiations with Bayern first have to take place. At this stage, it's early to mention Barcelona or any other clubs. Kane is focused on Bayern and doesn't want to be distracted by any transfer rumours.

Juraj Kucka has clarified comments that he made a while ago about Rafael Leao, based on a game that he saw first-hand. Kucka did four years with Genoa before moving to Milan in 2015 a fee widely reported to be in the region of €3m plus bonuses. He ended up becoming a fan favourite at the San Siro and stayed for a couple of seasons before heading to Trabzonspor, then moving on to Watford.
Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in signing the Portuguese international attacker Rafael Leao, as per Fichajes. The 26-year-old has done quite well for AC Milan, and the two Premier League clubs are hoping to secure his signature. They are looking to add more quality on the flanks, and the Portuguese International could be the ideal acquisition. He is at the peak of his career, and he is a consistent performer in Italy.
According to Fichajes, Chelsea are front-runners to secure his services, and they are ready to make a strong push in order to get the deal done. They would be willing to pay around 120 million to sign the Portuguese international. The report claims that the amount could convince Milan to sell the player, but the offer would have to arrive at the right time.
They have the third-best defence in the league, but their six draws in eight games shows that they are not scoring enough to win games regularly. Juric must understand why the team creates so much, shoots a lot but in six out of eight games has never scored more than one goal (and once zero). Understanding and remedying this is his big task at the moment.
Manchester United are looking to improve their attacking unit with the signing of AC Milan attacker Rafael Leao. The 26-year-old Portuguese international has done quite well in Italy, and his performances have attracted the attention of top clubs. According to Fichajes, Manchester United are now plotting a big-money move for him. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the Italian club to sell him.
Stefano Pioli would have hoped for a birthday present on the pitch for his 60th birthday, but his former club, AC Milan, denied that wish. Whilst his time at San Siro came to an unfortunate ending, perhaps hindered by his overextended stay at the helm, no one views the Italian in a negative light. After all, he brought the 19th Scudetto and relit the fire in the Rossoneri.
