I owe everything to my grandfather: he was a AC Milan fan and coached golf for Van Basten, Rijkaard, and Gullit,” he said. “It’s thanks to him that I’ve become such a die-hard fan; I always follow them. Could I be a good fit for them in the future? Who knows, we’ll see. For now, I’m still a huge fan and I’m happy at Club Brugge.” “My very first role model was Pippo Inzaghi. Then, as I grew up, I began to admire Luis Suárez so much. Today, however, I look up to Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane.” Tresoldi backs Leao stay During the interview, Tresoldi also spoke about Leão: “I met him once at San Siro. When we talk about him, we’re talking about a huge player: Leão is Leão. He was the protagonist of the first Scudetto I remember as a fan. “He’s had a few problems and injuries, but the only thing that matters is that he gets back to the level he was a few years ago. Would I sell him? Absolutely not.” Tresoldi may well get his wish: a report from Sky’s Peppe Di Stefano from Australia earlier on Monday claimed that the possibility of Leao remaining at Milan is gaining in momentum. He remarked that the ‘mood has changed’ regarding the Portuguese winger, who previously seemed to have burned his bridges after publicly declaring a desire to leave.
