Milan have reportedly agreed a €35m deal with Lille for Portugal Under-21 striker Rafael Leao.
RMC Sport follows up a claim by Portuguese journalist Claudia Garcia that Leao is on his way to Milan.
The radio station adds Lille will receive 20 percent of a future sale for the 20-year-old, who will arrive for a medical in the coming days.
The Portuguese had initially been put forward as a target for Napoli, but the Rossoneri are instead trying to sign his strike partner Nicolas Pepe.
He could replace Patrick Cutrone, with Wolverhampton Wanderers understood to be close to agreeing a fee for the hitman.
Leao joined the French side from Sporting CP last summer and helped them qualify for the Champions League with his eight Ligue 1 goals.

Seems like Maldini and Boban doesn't know that Milanisti want a good players like Everton, James Rodriguez, Torreira, the great name. Great signing.

Di Marzio said his agents have arrived to speak with Napoli. And Fabrizio retweeted that. Who is this guy? Is he as reliable as both of them?

You want to buy. Why not keep cutrone. That's my issue of getting new coach all the time.

I see many people talking about Cutrone. The problem is he does not want to accept his role as second choice and wants out

Great signing. Not great that Lille will get 20% if (when) he’s sold, and not good that Djalo is going the other way.
