Rafael Leão declined a fan's request to sign a Galatasaray shirt at the airport, brushing off the approach with a blunt "you're being dumb" as speculation over his future rumbles on.
The moment lands in the middle of a summer that has pointed Leão towards Turkey more than anywhere else. Europe's biggest clubs have not moved for him, and a Premier League switch looks unlikely as things stand, leaving Galatasaray as the club pushing hardest for the Portuguese.
Galatasaray hold the strongest interest in Leão, and their first bid was rejected earlier today. A fresh offer is expected this weekend, though the figures involved have not been disclosed.
Leão, for his part, is doing nothing to encourage the talk. Asked to sign the Galatasaray shirt by a supporter at the airport, he made clear he was not interested, telling the fan he was "being dumb" before moving on.
For all the noise around his exit this summer, refusing to put his name on a rival club's shirt is about as close to a show of loyalty as Leão has offered. Whether it changes anything is down to Galatasaray's next move and Milan's response to it.
