AC Milan challenge Chelsea for Sao Paulo superkid Lucas Piazon

AC Milan are challenging Chelsea for exciting Brazilian teenager Lucas Piazon.

When he was 14, Piazon was regarded as a bigger talent than Kaka for the same age and agreed a deal with Sao Paulo to sign a contract when he turned 16 in January this year.

However, in December, Chelsea came knocking and Piazon's family have been attempting to break the agreement with Sao Paulo. The Brazilian Federation has sided with the local club, but the dispute has seen Piazon frozen out of football.

With the 16 year-old not seeing any action, cash-strapped Sao Paulo know they risk losing money on his transfer and is now expected to sell. Chelsea remain keen, however, Italian sources say Milan are also interested, well aware they can snap up the midfield playmaker for a ridiculously low fee. The youngster is currently on €2,000-a-month.
