Parma defender Giovanni Leoni has given his priority to join Inter Milan this summer despite interest from AC Milan, Juventus, and Liverpool.

This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the 19-year-old is enthusiastic after Inter laid out their plans in a meeting with his agent.

Parma defender Giovanni Leoni is right at the top of Inter’s list of targets at the back.

The Nerazzurri are fully convinced that the teenager is the right player for the future of their defense.

Inter had missed out on Leoni’s signature last summer. However, they are more determined to sign him than ever now, particularly considering the Parma connection with coach Cristian Chivu.

As the Corriere dello Sport note, however, Inter are far from the only club keen on Leoni’s signature.

Inter’s city rivals AC Milan have also made the 19-year-old a major target. As have Juventus.

According to the Corriere, Inter met with agent Edoardo Crnjar a few days concerning Leoni.

And the newspaper report that the Nerazzurri didn’t just sound out their interest. They explicitly laid out their plan for Leoni, including his place in the squad and a tactical role for him.

Moreover, the Corriere anticipate, Inter also offered contract terms to Leoni via their meeting with Crnjar.

And the newspaper report that Leoni is convinced by what Inter have offered. He believes that the Nerazzurri are the right next step for him.

Therefore, the 19-year-old wants to join Inter. He has given priority to the Nerazzurri over all other suitors.

Now, it will be up to Inter to make a sufficient offer to Parma. The Emilian club are holding out for €40 million, but could well go down to €35 million in negotiations.
