According to Italian media Tutto MercatoWeb, Liverpool's quotation of 35 million euros of 18-year-old central defender Leoni was rejected.
The Italian media said that Parma rejected Liverpool's offer to 18-year-old Italian defender Leoni for 35 million euros, and they insisted that their 40 million euros price remain unchanged.
In addition to Liverpool, Inter Milan and Milan are paying attention to the talented central defender, but they are not as financially as Liverpool.
Born in Rome, Leoni moved to Chitadera when he was young and grew up in Padua's youth training system. The 1.95-meter defender made his professional debut in Serie C just a few months after he turned 16 in March 2023, and joined Sampdoria on loan in February 2024. Samp bought out for 1.5 million euros in June 2024, but Parma spent 4.8 million euros two months later to recruit him. Leoni performed well in her debut season, with market value soaring by 13.2 million to 18 million euros, and is currently the third most expensive U21 defender in Serie A.
