With no room at Milan, Rafael Leão decided to relaunch his career in Turkish football, but the experience at Galatasaray is proving to be a nightmare. In Italy they continue to follow the path of the Portuguese international, with critical analyses of his performance.

'In Istanbul, they have not yet seen the real Leão. Four games, two as a starter. Zero goals and zero assists. There have already been some moments of great football, but, for now, nothing that justifies the 38 million spent and the monstrous salary,' reads Tuttomercatoweb.

The same publication highlights the poor performance — the display in the heavy 0-4 defeat against Trabzonspor was particularly disastrous, with 21 turnovers, four shots off target, only 27 accurate passes out of 38 — and the discontent it is already generating among Galatasaray fans.

The expectation is that the scenario will change in the coming games, especially with heavyweight clashes on the horizon: the match against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, on 13 October, and, above all, the derby against Fenerbahçe, on 26 October.
