Milan and Juve to battle for ‘new Kaka’

Milan and Juventus have shown interest in Sao Paolo forward Lucas Piazon, dubbed the ‘new Kaka’.

The 16-year-old wonderkid attracted a lot of attention playing for Sao Paolo youth teams, where he has earned comparisons with the Brazil international.

Chelsea tried to sign the youngster last winter but failed to reach an agreement with Sao Paolo, and the latest reports suggest Milan and Juventus have also joined the race.

Piazon is yet to make his senior debut for the club, but cash-strapped Sao Paolo could decide to cash in on their most prized asset in January.

Should that happen, Milan and Juventus will be ready to act, although Chelsea are likely to reignite their interest in the youngster.
