Inter Milan Face Competition From Top Premier League Clubs To Sign Parma Star

Young Star on Inter Milan's Radar Draws Premier League Interest

Inter Milan are facing a fight to land Parma defender Giovanni Leoni, with top clubs in England also eyeing the teenage talent.

Nerazzurri Chase Summer Target

The Italian giants have been tracking Leoni since last summer, and his impressive performances under coach Cristian Chivu at Parma have solidified their interest. Inter view him as a key target for the remainder of the transfer window.

Meanwhile, AC Milan appear to be out of the running for Leoni, closing in on another one of Inter's desired players, Koni De Winter. This development is a boost for Inter, but Premier League competition poses a challenge.

€35 Million Offer Rejected

Corriere dello Sport reports that Parma already received a €35 million bid from an English club, though not one of the league's biggest names. Leoni himself has shown little inclination to move.

However, should a heavyweight like Liverpool enter the fray, the situation could change dramatically.
