Report: Everton suffer blow as AC Milan closing in on Rafael Leao

According to an exclusive report from Calciomercato, Serie A giants AC Milan are closing in on a deal for highly-rated forward Rafael Leao from Lille.

The Rossoneri are in final stages of completing the deal for the young attacker thought to be in the region of £31 million, with super-agent Jorge Mendes pulling the strings from behind.

The report claims that Milan have accelerated the negotiations for Leao, while working in parallel with the operation for Angel Correa.
