Inter Milan Still Monitoring Parma Breakout Star – But Face Price Tag & Liverpool Obstacles | OneFootball

Inter Milan are still monitoring Parma defender Giovanni Leoni, but face major obstacles from the price tag and the competition of Liverpool.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan have been eyeing up Parma defender Giovanni Leoni for some time.

The Nerazzurri had already tried to sign the teenager from Sampdoria last summer. However, Parma beat them to his signature.

And after a season in Serie A with Parma, Leoni has convinced Inter all the more.

Parma have given Inter an asking price of around €40 million for Leoni.

That has proven tricky for the Nerazzurri. Particularly considering that they have already invested significantly this summer, and are still pursuing a deal for Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have also been working to try and sign Leoni.

And the Premier League champions would certainly be formidable competition for Inter. Particularly on a financial level, where they have not encountered any problems.

Therefore, Inter are still looking at Leoni. But they are well aware that they face an uphill battle to try and sign the 19-year-old.
