The future of Brazilian forward Leandro Damião, known as Leao, is uncertain after the Serie A deadline passed on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old was one of several players who had been linked with moves to Italian clubs during the transfer window, but it seems that his move to AC Milan has not materialised.
Leao spent last season on loan at Inter Milan, where he made 16 appearances and scored three goals in all competitions.
However, despite his impressive performances for Inter, it appears that the club may have struggled to find a buyer for him due to financial constraints.
Leao's agent, Jorge Mendes, recently told reporters that there were still "many steps" to be taken before a deal could be completed, and that he would continue to work on finding a new club for his client.
It remains to be seen whether Leao will end up playing for another Italian club this season or if he will look elsewhere for a new challenge. Regardless of what happens next, it is clear that Leao's time at AC Milan has come to an end, and he will need to start looking for a new club soon if he wants to continue his career in Europe.
