Rafael Leão is a 27-year-old centre-forward at AC Milan, rated 70.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 155th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (69.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.58 goal contributions per 90 (0.43 goals, 0.14 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Leão.
Judged on this season alone, Leão graded 54 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 9 goals and 3 assists in 29 appearances (0.579 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 48 → 54). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 70, 21st of 49 of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 27 Leão is in his prime years, and a market index of 56.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Leão missed 8 games through injury (calf, injury, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 29 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
