Once you connect the birds statistic with its underlying reason, habitat diversity, the underselling becomes clear. This dramatic geography gives rise to a wide array of natural habitats, including the Amazon basin, cloud forests, wetlands, mangroves, coasts, islands, plains and the high altitude ice-cold Páramo tundra. It has coast lines along both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and contains a large section of the Andes mountain range. The reason Colombia hosts so many bird species is its spectacular geography. Whilst this is appealing to birders, I believe this still undersells Colombia as a top notch destination for natural exploration. Leao unilaterally terminated his contract with Sporting in 2018 after fans invaded the club's training ground, joining Ligue 1 side Lille.Īnd Milan are reportedly trying to cut a deal with the Portuguese club in the hope it will convince Leao to stay long-term at the San Siro - which fans are packing out thanks in part to Leao's development into one of the world's best.Colombia prides itself for being the country hosting the most bird species in the world. Portuguese outlet Record also claim that Maldini has met with Sporting Lisbon director Frederico Varandas twice as part of discussions over the 20 million euros Leao has to pay his former club.
They are hoping to get the new deal signed before the World Cup, when Leao will have the chance to shine on the biggest stage of all. Milan are trying to get Leao to extend his current deal which runs to 2024, and Italian daily Corriere Della Sera report that they are offering 6-7 million euros a year in a bid to stave off interest from the Premier League. When offers of a certain type are made, no one is unsellable." Milan value Leao at well over 100 million euros ($98 million) and want to get maximum value from an asset they know will eventually join one of football's financial heavyweights, a status they once held in Silvio Berlusconi's heyday.Ĭlub legend and technical director Paolo Maldini confirmed last month that Milan had rejected an offer from Chelsea but added that "it's pointless being a romantic. Red-hot Leao will be the key man at Stamford Bridge as Milan attempt to hold top spot in Champions League Group E, which they lead by one point from Dinamo Zagreb, and increase their hopes of making the knockout stages for the first time since the 2013-14 season.Ī good performance will surely increase the Blues' interest in Leao after they made an informal bid to Milan in the close season. He then capped off a dramatic win in the most stylish of fashions with 96 minutes on the clock, racing towards goal before scooping a perfect finish over Guglielmo Vicario. Having set up Ante Rebic's 79th-minute opener with a typically devastating display of dribbling, Leao also launched the pass which eventually led to Fode Ballo-Toure putting Milan back in front in stoppage time. Saturday's incredible win was a perfect example of both Milan's never-say-die spirit and mercurial talent of their star man, who had a hand in all three of the Rossoneri's goals.
Milan's only defeat of the season came in the one match Leao has missed, against Serie A leaders Napoli.Īnd although Stefano Pioli's team have been hit with a raft of injuries - France's Theo Hernandez and Mike Maignan among those on the treatment table - Leao's form has them travelling to London in high spirits.
