Report – Inter Milan Prefer Unsettled Liverpool Defender Over Udinese Center-Back | OneFootball

Giovanni Leoni and Oumar Solet are among several defenders heavily linked with a summer transfer to Inter Milan.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri would rather sign the Liverpool starlet over the Udinese center-back.

Giovanni Leoni was one of Inter’s great wishes last summer.

However, Liverpool beat the San Siro giants to the punch, striking a lightning-fast agreement with Parma.

Indeed, the Reds splashed out nearly €30 million to secure the 19-year-old’s signature, only for the player to suffer a severe knee injury at the start of his adventure at Anfield.

As a result, Leoni has missed the entire season, failing to make a single Premier League appearance.

Inter Milan to Pursue Giovanni Leoni Over Oumar Solet

Despite his lengthy spell on the sidelines, the former Parma center-back remains on Inter’s shortlist.

Furthermore, Cristian Chivu’s men view the Italian prodigy as a better fit to their long-term project than Solet.

In addition to his legal issues, the 26-year-old commands a substantial €30 million price tag.

However, it’s fair to say that Solet’s valuation perfectly reflects his outstanding performances this season.

Meanwhile, Inter will do everything to sign Sassuolo starlet Tarik Muharemovic, who remains the club’s top target.
