Transfer Race Heats Up for Leoni: Inter, Napoli, and Milan Compete for €15M Talent

Giovanni Leoni

Everyone is talking about Giovanni Leoni. The central defender, impressed in his debut Serie A season, becoming a key figure in Parma’s backline. His rise has been particularly notable since Cristian Chivu, a former defender himself, took charge of the team. According to the latest report from Corriere dello Sport, Leoni is now on the radar of several top Italian clubs.

Milan is the most recent club to express interest, joining a growing list of suitors that already includes city rivals Inter and reigning champions Napoli. Parma currently values the young defender at around 15 million euros, but the club is hoping that strong competition will drive the price higher. At the same time, Parma would prefer to keep Leoni for another season to allow him to continue developing, following a trajectory similar to Bastoni’s early years.

The question now is which of the top Serie A sides will be willing to sign Leoni and agree to leave him in Emilia on loan for one more year.
