Report – Inter Milan To Step Up Interest In Parma Youngster After Selling Several Fringe Players | OneFootball

Inter Milan have reportedly not dropped their interest in sought-after Parma teenager Giovanni Leoni.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri are planning to accelerate talks with the Crusaders.

However, Inter must sort out the outgoing market before making a move.

Indeed, after spending nearly €75 million on incoming deals, they’re willing to splash out another €50 million on Ademola Lookman.

Therefore, the Serie A runners-up are at risk of running out of budget.

Parma have slapped a substantial €40 million price tag on Giovanni Leoni amid growing interest from Liverpool.

However, Inter will not go down without a fight.

On the contrary, they’re working hard to offload several fringe players, including Kristjan Asllani and Sebastiano Esposito.

Furthermore, they are eager to part ways with Tomas Palacios and Mehdi Taremi.

Only after completing those sales will Inter be able to enter talks with Parma.

Meanwhile, time has become a factor now that Liverpool aim to step up their interest in the 18-year-old.
