Milan, 29 Aug. (LaPresse) – “The emotions? They’ve already passed. As I said yesterday, I was at the stadium with my former teammates. The emotion of my last game at San Siro. I wanted to be on the pitch, to wave to the fans, to feel their energy. It wasn’t possible, though; I wish Milan all the best and will continue to watch them from afar.” So says Portuguese striker Rafa Leão as he bids farewell to Milan and Italy and flies to Istanbul to join Galatasaray. “That’s life. One chapter ends, another begins. I’m very happy to be embarking on a new adventure in a new country, at a club that’s doing very well. Last year they showed what they’re capable of in the Champions League, a competition that’s very important to me. The aim is to add quality to their squad, although they already have some strong players,” he added to Sky Sport microphones at Linate Airport. His farewell to the Rossoneri fans. “Thank you so much for everything. From day one, I felt at home. Every time my family came to Milan, they felt at home. I was very happy to wear the Milan shirt. We won important trophies and I’ll carry Milan with me wherever I go,” he concluded.
