# Serie A expert drops warning to Wolves target amid PL link

**Serie A expert Conor Clancy does not believe that Rafael Leao should move to Wolves despite links with the Premier League club this summer.**

Wolves were first linked with an interest in the striker back in [May](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-leao-per-arrivare-a-vlahovic-ecco-cosa-cambia-tra-prezzo-e-36876), with the club looking to bolster their forward line amid doubts over the fitness of Raul Jimenez, who sustained a sickening head injury last term.

Leao is 22 and has been with the Serie A club since 2019, and he has gone on to make [73 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rafael-leao/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/357164) for the club.

In that time, though, he has scored just [13 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rafael-leao/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/357164), enduring hit-and-miss periods during his time at the San Siro. He has also laid on nine assists.

Leao has a contract until 2024 and is valued at £22.5m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rafael-leao/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/357164), and Clancy has warned that he is better off staying where he is and continuing to improve than trying to make a big-money switch to England.

The editor in chief of [Forza Italian Football](https://forzaitalianfootball.com/) said: *“I’m not sure if Leao would be a hit anywhere at the moment. He is very hit and miss. I do really like him but I think he’s guilty of making the same odd mistakes.*

*“His decisions aren’t always the greatest and his finishing is not always the best. I think the best place for him now is to just stay by Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s side and let him take him on a little bit further because he has improved under Ibra.”*
