Rafael Leão leaves AC Milan to join Galatasaray and travels to Istanbul to undergo medical tests, according to reports. Before departing, the Portuguese winger addresses the situation in a brief video message, expressing gratitude and saying he has felt at home since arriving.
The sources describe the move as an imminent transition, with the medical examination in Istanbul presented as the next required step. While the outlets focus on Leão’s farewell remarks and his travel to Turkey, they do not conflict on the central timeline: he is departing Milan and undergoing medical checks with Galatasaray.
Both accounts frame Leão’s departure as the start of his new club chapter, emphasizing his statements of thanks to AC Milan as he prepares for the process that typically precedes completion of a transfer.
