AC Milan forward Rafael Leao said he is leaving the Serie A club after seven seasons, with Turkish champions Galatasaray expected to be his next destination.

The Portuguese forward watched from the sidelines as Milan beat Venezia 2-0 on Friday, with club record signing Goncalo Ramos breaking the deadlock on his home debut.

“It’s a tough moment saying goodbye to my teammates after seven years,” he told reporters after the game.
