Inter Milan or AC Milan could look to Fiorentina defender Pietro Comuzzo as an alternative to Giovanni Leoni.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Corriere della Sera, via FCInterNews.
Inter Milan and AC Milan look to be in for a real transfer battle this summer over Giovanni Leoni.
The Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri are not the only clubs with an interest in the teenage defender at Parma. Juventus are also keen, whilst Liverpool have also reportedly joined the race.
However, Inter and Milan are reportedly the two main contenders for Leoni’s signature.
The Nerazzurri want to reunite Leoni with coach Cristian Chivu, who brought the best out of the 19-year-old at Parma. However, their city rivals look to be just as determined to sign him.
Inter Or AC Milan Could Target Pietro Comuzzo As Leoni Alternative
Clearly, at least one of Inter or Milan will miss out on Leoni’s signature.
And according to the Corriere della Sera, the clubs would both have a clear alternative.
Fiorentina defender Pietro Comuzzo has a similar profile to Leoni.
Like the Parma defender, Comuzzo is very young – just twenty years of age.
And similarly to Leoni, Comuzzo has already proven to be a very strong and physical defender with no shortage of height.
Therefore, the Corriere della Sera report, Inter or Milan could make Comuzzo their backup target to Leoni to bolster their respective backlines this summer transfer window.
Considering how our defense is very old we should get him and Leoni.
It would seem Newcastle wants to sign Scalvini, considering he would be worth around 40-45mil, cause of his injuries, i would also go for him and pair him with Bastoni
i approve this guy
Comuzzo would be a great addition, but we need to learn from the Leoni saga, and move fast!! Fiorentina definitely want Sebastiano Esposito, and have even shown an interest in Asllani, so we should get to work at thrashing out a player plus cash deal, before other clubs get involved, and the price of the player rockets!!
In an ideal world, we could get this done relatively quickly, sell Bisseck and buy Leoni, but I’m probably living in dreamland there….
Inter should definitely go for this guy if not Leoni. He is also very talented and is already a starter for Fiorentina at the age of 20.
