Inter Milan Lead The Race For €40M Rated Parma Star – But Must Offload Germany Star First | OneFootball

Inter Milan are the club leading the race to sign Parma defender Giovanni Leoni, but they would have to sell Yann Bisseck first.

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

It is no secret that Inter Milan are big admirers of Parma defender Giovanni Leoni.

The Nerazzurri had already been trying to sign the teenage defender from Sampdoria last summer. However, Parma beat them to the punch.

The Gialloblu signed Leoni for a fee of around €7 million.

But this summer, Inter’s interest in Leoni has only grown stronger. All the moreso because of the arrival of Cristian Chivu as coach.

However, Inter are hardly without competition for Leoni’s signature.

And in particular, the Nerazzurri’s city rivals AC Milan are also eyeing up a move for the 19-year-old.

Still, according to the Corriere dello Sport, Inter are the team in the driver’s seat to sign Leoni.

But Leoni won’t come cheap. Parma want a whopping €40 million for the young defender, reports the Corriere.

Therefore, Inter would have to make a big sale before they can afford a deal for the Italy Under-21 international.

And according to the Corriere, there would be one prime candidate for that sale.
