Report – Parma Won’t Budge On €40M Asking Price For Inter Milan & AC Milan Target | OneFootball

Parma reportedly will not budge on their asking price of €40 million for Inter Milan and AC Milan target Giovanni Leoni.

This according to Italian outlet FCInterNews. They report that the Gialloblu believe that the teenage defender’s value could rise to €70 million.

It is no secret that Inter Milan are keen to sign Parma defender Giovanni Leoni.

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

The Emilian club paid a fee of around €7 million to sign Leoni.

And that already looks to be a fantastic piece of business. If Parma were to sell Leoni this summer, it would be for several times what they paid for him just twelve months ago.

FCInterNews report that Parma have rejected a bid of €25 million plus €5 million in add-ons from Premier League side Bournemouth for Leoni.

According to FCIN, Parma want €40 million for Giovanni Leoni. And they aren’t going to be negotiated down from that figure.

In fact, the Gialloblu are keen to keep the 19-year-old at the club for another season.

Parma’s view is that with another season of growth and positive performances, Leoni’s market value will only increase further.

More, Leoni is expected to earn a spot in Gennaro Gattuso’s senior Italy side.

Therefore, FCIN report, Parma believe that in another year, Leoni could be worth as much as €70 million. As such, they’re hardly in any hurry to cash in now.

However, reports FCIN, Inter are insistent on signing Leoni. They see the 19-year-old as their top target for the rest of the summer transfer window.

Meanwhile, the outlet note, the Nerazzurri’s city rivals AC Milan are also keen on Leoni’s signature.

Therefore, an offer of €35 million plus €5 million in add-ons could be sufficient to sway Parma this summer.
