Calciomercato.com begin a report by declaring: ‘The future belongs to Giovanni Leoni’. The Parma defender has shown top-level athletic, physical and technical ability at just 18 years of age, and mixes these ingredients with a massive dose of personality that never hurts.
It is not easy for everyone to stop Romelu Lukaku and Randal Kolo Muani with performances that have been highlighted in the notebooks of the scouts of Inter, Napoli, Juventus and Milan.
Milan want Leoni: What must happen
Massimiliano Allegri and Igli Tare are in daily contact, exchanging ideas for what characteristics should be brought to the new Milan. Leoni’s ideas fit perfectly with the ideas on which the Rossoneri management is creating the new team.
Therefore, the teenager is the number one objective to bring talent and homegrown quality to the defensive department. In the event that either Fikayo Tomori or Malick Thiaw are sold, the mission for the Parma defender will begin immediately.
Milan are interested in Leoni, but they must act quickly to overcome the competition and also Parma’s resistance. The Gialloblu’s idea would be not to sell the Roman defender in this transfer window but to wait.
Barring truly irrefutable offers in the range of €25m, he will stay. This is the line that is emerging now, then Parma will decide whether or not to open up to negotiations.
