Parma have continued to raise the price for Giovanni Leoni, with Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Juventus facing a €30 million asking price.

This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

It is certainly no secret that Giovanni Leoni is attracting transfer interest.

Parma only signed the teenage defender last summer. Reportedly they paid Sampdoria a fee of around €7 million.

However, that bet looks to have paid off in a big way for the Gialloblu.

Parma Raise Price For Inter, AC Milan & Juventus Target Giovanni Leoni Target To €30M

Giovanni Leoni enjoyed an outstanding season with Parma. Particularly towards the end of the campaign.

The 18-year-old looked extremely comfortable at the heart of Parma’s defense as they avoided relegation under Cristian Chivu.

Chivu’s arrival as Inter coach has certainly intensified the Nerazzurri’s interested in Leoni. In fact, they had already targeted Leoni last summer before he moved to Parma.

However, Parma are not going to let Leoni go for cheap.

According to the Gazzetta, the Emilian club are already thinking of a €30 million asking price for Leoni.

That would be a massive profit from what Parma paid for Leoni just twelve months ago.

According to the Gazzetta, Juventus are taking a step back for the moment. And Inter and AC Milan are still interested, but will have to contend with the high price tag.

Meanwnhile, reports the Gazzetta, there are also clubs outside of Serie A eyeing Leoni up.
