AC Milan 'will demand £50MILLION for Everton, Wolves and Juventus target Leao'

AC Milan are reportedly set to demand £50million for Rafael Leao with Everton and Wolves set to rival Juventus for the young striker.

The 21-year-old has had an impressive campaign for the Serie A side, scoring six goals and five assists in the Rossoneri's bid for the title, with his latest a game-sealing strike against Parma on Saturday.

The Portugal striker joined from Lille for a reported fee of £25million in the summer of 2019 and is finally starting to show his worth after an underwhelming first season.

And Calciomercato report Milan now see Leao's value at a whopping £50m, with Everton and Wolves long-time admirers of the forward while fellow Serie A giants Juventus are also believed to be eyeing the forward.

It is believed Wolves were turned down in an approach for Leao last summer while the report claims Everton have also tried to 'test the waters' in the past.

The Premier League could find it difficult to battle with the advances of Juventus, though, who are claimed to have held interest that dates back to the striker's time at Sporting CP in 2018.

Despite this, Milan technical director Paolo Maldini and sporting director Frederic Massara believe they have a potential world class talent on their hands and see Leao as the 'present and the future' of the club.

That price of £50m could be the fee required to see them part with the player, and this summer is sure to determine how big the chasing parties interests really are.

After a positive campaign which has seen them in the frame for the title for much of it, it now looks set to be handed to rivals Inter Milan who are now nine points clear the top.

Stefano Pioli's side can still take much heart from their season as they sit ahead of Juventus, whose nine-year title-winning dynasty look almost certain to come to an end.
