Rafael Leão revealed the reasons that led him to leave Milan to join Galatasaray. The Portuguese forward explained that he intended to "change scenery" in his career.

Rafael Leão revealed that he directly communicated to Ruben Amorim, Sporting's coach, his intention to follow a new professional path. According to the player, the Sporting coach respected his decision.

This move represents another club change for the Portuguese forward, who after standing out at Alvalade transferred to Lille and subsequently to Milan, before now accepting the Turkish challenge.
