Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Juventus target Giovanni Leoni will not force a move away from Parma this summer transfer window.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They report, however, that the Rossoneri will try to get the jump on the competition by offering Mattia Liberali as part of a bid.

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.

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.

Cristian Chivu now wants to bring Giovanni Leoni to Inter Milan with him.

However, the Nerazzurri are not the only club to show an interest in the 19-year-old.

Juventus are also keen on signing Leoni. Then, AC Milan have an even stronger interest.

Reportedly, the Rossoneri are thinking about offering young forward Mattia Liberali plus cash, in order to lower the fee.

However, Parma are in no hurry to sell Leoni.

Nor, Sky Sport Italia, is Giovanni Leoni rushing to leave Parma. On the contrary, the teenage defender feels that another season at the Stadio Ennio Tardini could be beneficial for his development.

Therefore, reports Sky, Leoni will not try to put pressure on Parma to sanction a move this summer.
