Mi-Type: Allegri appoints Menion as Milan captain & Leo as vice captain, and the communication is very active

According to the "Milan Sports" report, Allegri appointed Menion as the captain of Milan and Leo as the deputy captain, and they communicated with the two very positively. Milan, which starts training in the new season under the leadership of Allegri, will play the team leader with Menion and Leo. This is a key restart node for the two of them: Menion's contract will expire in 2026. Although he made wonderful saves last season, he also made many key mistakes and needs to regain his peak form; while the Portuguese winger once again handed in "double-double" data (both goals and assists), he is still expected to achieve a qualitative leap, showing more stability and decisiveness.

Their performance will greatly affect the overall competitiveness and ambition of the Ross and Blacks in the 2025-26 season.

Milan sports director Tare and coach Allegri have communicated with the two core members many times in the past few weeks. Both sides gave extremely positive feedback, both sides, both sides gave extremely positive feedback. They loved Milan deeply and were eager to contribute, so the club decided that they would serve as captain and deputy captain respectively.

Although Leo is the player who plays the longest and plays the most in the team, Meinion has worn the captain's armband in the 2024-25 season and chose to stay after the club rejected Chelsea's offer, so he will officially serve as captain in the future. Perhaps this "appointment" will become an opportunity for the renewal negotiations to restart. The renewal was almost completed a few months ago, but now it is in stagnation.

For Menion, this is a season that must improve performance, especially in the World Cup year. New goalkeeper coach Claudio Philippi will bring him new training methods and stimulation, which may help him restore his slightly slow physical condition last season. Menion has confidence in himself and is also working quietly: despite being rarely shown on social media, he has been training very hard in recent weeks, and people around him reveal that he is ready to dominate the game again.

As for Leo, his summer is not just a vacation. He frequently posted training photos on social media, showing that he was determined to start the new season with a strong attitude. Leo admires Allegri very much and is deeply inspired to hear the coach's positioning of his core role. Recently, he also trained with his half-brother Paul Siman (16-year-old midfielder, who joined Porto Sports not long ago). The two were personally coached by Dario Marcolin, who happened to be on vacation in the local area at that time. Previously, Leo also trained in Portugal and Brazil respectively, and his holidays revolved around family, music and fashion.

Although Bayern had been interested in Leo, he has officially withdrawn from the competition. Club Chairman Hines said in an interview with Radio Bavaria yesterday: "Leo? No offer at all. Sports director Ebert told me that they had contact with Milan, but there was no progress, and there was no possibility of a deal."

Therefore, for Menion and Leo, the transfer market has become a thing of the past. Now, Allegri and Milan hope they will go all out and go into the new season in the best form.
