Inter Milan Confident Of Beating AC Milan To Liverpool Target For Two Reasons

Inter Milan are confident that they can beat AC Milan to the signing of Parma defender Giovanni Leoni for two reasons.

Today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, report that the Rossoneri’s targeting of Pietro Comuzzo and an agreement with Leoni’s agent could be factors which favour the Nerazzurri.

All eyes are on Parma defender Giovanni Leoni. The 19-year-old has emerged as one of the outstanding defenders in Serie A before even turning twenty.

Leoni had already caught Inter’s eye last summer. However, they failed to get a deal done with Sampdoria for him as Parma instead signed the young defender.

But Leoni’s performances last season truly solidified Inter’s interest. Not least after Inter appointed Cristian Chivu as coach from Parma.

Meanwhile, AC Milan are no less keen on signing Leoni. He is a major potential name to replace Malick Thiaw after the German’s sale to Newcastle United.
