Liverpool are now closing in on the capture of Italian defender Giovanni Leoni from Parma.
According to a report from talkSPORT, Liverpool could wrap up the move in the next 24 hours. The report claims that Liverpool are now very close to reaching a full agreement for the 18-year-old defender, and they will pay a fee of around £30 million for the player.
Liverpool need Giovanni Leoni
Leoni will become Liverpool’s seventh summer signing. The talented young defender could prove to be an excellent long-term investment for the club. Liverpool need to add more quality and depth to the defensive unit, especially after the departure of Jarell Quansah.
It will be interesting to see if you can hit the ground running in English football and establish himself as an important first-team player for the club. There is no doubt that he is a world-class talent with a bright future, and he could develop into a key player.
Leoni will fancy Liverpool move
The opportunity to join the Premier League champions will be quite exciting for the defender, and he will look to make his mark in English football. He has the physicality and technical attributes to thrive in England, and Liverpool could nurture him into a future star.
Former Italian international Andrea Pirlo has previously labelled him as a “fantastic” talent. It remains to be seen whether he can fulfil his potential in England. The £30 million investment would look like a huge bargain in future.
Liverpool are also keen on Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. They have looked vulnerable at the back in recent months, and they are looking to improve in that area of the pitch. Guehi and Leoni would be the perfect balance of youth and experience.
