Clubs wanting to prise Willy Gnonto away from Leeds United this summer will have to pay at least £18million for the Italian forward.
Reports in Italy say both AC Milan and Fiorentina have been quoted the price when enquiring about the 19-year-old's availability following the Whites' relegation to the Championship. Gnonto only arrived at Elland Road on transfer deadline day in September of last year, making a late move from Swiss side FC Zurich.
Leeds' struggles last season meant he perhaps wasn't given the chances he would have like to perform in the Premier League, although he still managed to impress with a series of eye-catching displays. However, with Jesse Marsch - and then Javi Gracia and Sam Allardyce - opting for experience in a bid escape the Premier League dropzone, Gnonto's gametime diminished after a strong run in the middle of the season.

Several Serie A clubs have expressed interest this summer in taking the Italy international back to his homeland, although the £18m price tag is believed to have put off Milan and Fiorentina.
Whether they will come back with a solid offer remains to be seen, although it seems likely that Leeds will receive more than the £4m they paid for him less than a year ago. In total, Gnonto made 28 appearances for Leeds last season, scoring four goals and contributing a further four assists.
His last goal came back in February in the 2-2 draw with Manchester United, which followed a brace in the FA Cup win over Cardiff City in January.
