AC Milan are seemingly determined to beat fierce rivals Inter to the signature of in-demand Parma defender Giovanni Leoni.
Per Sky Sport via FCInterNews, Parma will only negotiate the youngster’s departure if they receive a mind-blowing offer.
Giovanni Leoni is the subject of a transfer tug-of-war between the San Siro clubs.
Indeed, both teams are keen to take him away from Stadio Ennio Tardini.
However, whether they are willing to match Parma’s demands remains uncertain.
AC Milan Pushing to Sign Inter Target Giovanni Leoni
Parma’s initial demands have gone up amid growing interest for the 18-year-old.
Indeed, the Crusaders have reportedly set a €30 million price tag on Leoni and will only consider selling him if they receive that amount.
Otherwise, the only way to convince Parma to sanction Leoni’s exit would be to let the youngster stay for another season.
Yet, it’s hard to see Milan or Inter leaving the Italian center-back at Tardini next term.
Both teams need defensive reinforcements now.
With that in mind, this could be one of the longest-running summer sagas.
I do not if he is worth that kind of payday but I do know this…how is AC coming up with the money for their proposed transfers? Inter outearn them and will make more even next year compared to them. How is it Inter has their wallet closed tight???????
Leoni needs to stay at Parma to mature and gain experience. It is too early for him to move to a big club with a lot of pressure.
too expensive for only one season play, we better take mosquera from Valencia, cheaper and ready to be a starter
