AC Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali insists Rafael Leao must be left alone to make a decision about a new contract.
Milan are attempting to secure the striker to a new deal amid interest from Chelsea.
Tonali said, "Rafa we know that he has different qualities to mine and (Ismael) Bennacer. The story is the same, but with different bases.
'Rafa will decide what he has to do. He is experiencing it well and serenely this season, he must not think about many things. You just have to go ahead and play this season.
"I can't get into his head and change his ideas. Only he knows what is the best way for him, whether to stay here or decide to take other paths. We know he is a phenomenon and must make the best choice for him before us."
