Gazzetta dello Sport is reporting Leonardo will leave Milan on Monday and could return to Paris Saint-Germain.
The newspaper explains Leonardo’s position has ‘weakened’ at Milan after their failure to qualify for the Champions League, while his silence contradicts the club’s stance that there are no problems between him and CEO Ivan Gazidis.
The Brazilian was only appointed sporting director at San Siro last summer, as part of a new-look boardroom following Elliott Management’s takeover.
Gazzetta dello Sport is reporting Leonardo will leave Milan on Monday and could return to Paris Saint-Germain.
The newspaper explains Leonardo’s position has ‘weakened’ at Milan after their failure to qualify for the Champions League, while his silence contradicts the club’s stance that there are no problems between him and CEO Ivan Gazidis.
The Brazilian was only appointed sporting director at San Siro last summer, as part of a new-look boardroom following Elliott Management’s takeover.
He sanctioned the signings of Gonzalo Higuain, Mattia Caldara, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Samu Castillejo and Diego Laxalt, as well as Lucas Paqueta and Krzysztof Piatek in January.
However, the 49-year-old failed to equip Gennaro Gattuso with a squad that could finish in Serie A’s top four.
As for his next destination, Gazzetta notes talk of a move back to PSG has been doing the rounds in recent days.
Leonardo worked in the French capital for two years before leaving in 2013, but the Ligue 1 champions still rely on a core group of his recruits – Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Marco Verratti and Edinson Cavani.
