# Everton: AC Milan set Rafael Leao asking price

**According to [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-leao-e-tornato-tra-juventus-ancelotti-e-i-50-milioni-74565), AC Milan have set a €50m (£43.2m) asking price for Everton transfer target Rafael Leao.**

### **Milan set Leao price**

The Toffees have previously been [linked with a move for the Brazilian](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-no-da-30-milioni-per-leao-14165), who made the move to the San Siro from Lille two years ago.

[Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-leao-e-tornato-tra-juventus-ancelotti-e-i-50-milioni-74565) have now claimed that Milan are looking for €50m (£43.2m) for the striker, while the article also mentioned Wolves’ previous interest.

### **Expensive, but potential**

That is no doubt a considerable fee for a player who has just 23 senior goals to his name so far ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rafael-leao/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/357164)). However, he is just 21 years old and is still learning his trade.

Tiago Fernandes, who coached Leao during his time at Sporting Lisbon, previously that said he is comparable to [legendary Brazilian forward](https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/sep/17/ronaldo-40-birthday-brazil-greatest-ever-striker) Ronaldo – high praise indeed – while he also suggested that the Milan ace could play for Real Madrid or Barcelona (Tuttomercatoweb, via [One Football](https://m.allfootballapp.com/news/Serie-A/He-is-another-Ronaldo-for-Milan---Former-Coach-praises-Rafael-Leao/1659002)).

The Toffees’ experience with highly-rated young strikers is not the best in recent times. Moise Kean [struggled to adapt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moise-kean/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/364135) to the Premier League after signing from Juventus, and it would therefore be a risk for Carlo Ancelotti and co to part with such a big fee for a player who remains largely unproven.

However, Leao certainly seems to have considerable ability, and if Everton could negotiate a smaller fee, the youngster could well be an interesting option.
