So it was only a matter of time before he joined CP's youth at the age of 9 and finally began his career journey.

His time in the club was not a walk in the park, as, in June 2018, he unilaterally terminated his contract at the Estadio Jose Alvalade, citing an incident where fans had attacked players and staff during training.

On 8 August 2018, Rafael Leao signed a contract with the French club Lille on a free transfer for a five-year deal. However, later Sporting CP would dispute Lille's deal to sign the player, deeming the transfer unacceptable. As a result, they signed a complaint with FIFA and claimed the $52 million for his release clause.
