Rafael Liao's Contract Talks: Future at Milan?
00:00:15
Speaker
Okay, so Rafael Liao, he's in contract talks with Milan to renew his deal. Things are not going particularly well right now. Is there a worry now that he's going to leave the club at the end of the season?
00:00:29
Speaker
I think there are serious concerns. I personally think that this is the last season we'll see him in Italy and the Serie A.
Potential Departure of Rafael Liao from Milan
00:00:35
Speaker
The question is, how much money will Milan get for him? Because if he doesn't extend his contract, his contract is set to expire in June 2024.
00:00:45
Speaker
But if they also extend him, I mean obviously Rafael Liao owes sporting quite a bit of money after losing legal battles with them when he moved to Lille, when rescinding his contract after a training ground controversy with the club's ultras, sporting ultras coming there. So it's going to cost Milan quite a bit. This is not an ideal situation for them. So I think we are looking at the last year of Rafael Liao at Milan.
Roma Players' Performance Struggles
00:01:13
Speaker
Another forward who's having a tough time of things, but in a different way, is Tammy Abraham at Roma. He had such an excellent first season last season in Serie A. He scored 18 goals in all competitions. This season, though, only two goals, one assist in 13 games. His confidence is really, really low at the moment. He's not really getting any luck either. Ball just doesn't want to go in for him.
00:01:41
Speaker
Just like Roma, he's underscoring his XG massively. He's got an XG of like 5.5, yet he's only scored two goals. This is us in Serie A. And just like the rest of Roma's attack, you know, Zagnolo hasn't scored, Bellotti's not scored in Serie A. Pellegrini's only got one goal, you know. And Di Bala is the one that's been carrying the team but is now injured. I mean, Roma really need Abraham to step it up and to start performing.
