Rafael Liao is the headline for Gazzetta dello Sport on Thursday. The Portuguese striker dreams of his dream season at Milan – 14 goals and 9 assists in 41 games – with the newspaper reporting that over the past few seasons he has quadrupled his value, and is now valued at 100 million.
This assessment has caught the attention of the sharks in Europe, with Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain leading – the French are on the verge of losing Kylian Mbappe and are looking for a replacement, but they should not advance even this. The file is complete, although the newspaper reports that there was already a proposal of around 70 million.
Paris Saint-Germain is also waiting for Sadio Mane and Darwin Nunez of Benfica.
To get to 100 million, Gazzetta analyzes Leão’s evolution since August 2019, when he moved from Lille for 30 million euros. This season he is Milan’s top scorer in Serie A, with 11 goals and if the club confirm the title at the weekend – they face Sassuolo, two points ahead of Inter, who host Sampdoria – it could be worth more.
