Inter Milan have identified Parma teenage sensation Giovanni Leoni as a ‘concrete’ target for the summer transfer window.
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 18-year-old remains Inter’s prime objective to reinforce their backline.
Despite his young age, Giovanni Leoni has a host of admirers in Serie A.
In addition to Inter, AC Milan and Juventus are also in the race.
However, Cristian Chivu’s men are the frontrunners as the player wants to reunite with the Romanian at San Siro.
Meanwhile, the 20-time Italian champions are keeping other options open.
Inter had been hot on Leoni’s tail even before they chose Chivu to replace Simone Inzaghi.
However, the 44-year-old’s appointment has only fueled talks linking the youngster with a move to Giuseppe Meazza.
On the other hand, Yann Bisseck’s future remains a mystery.
Despite heavy exit speculation, Inter have yet to receive offers for the 24-year-old.
But they’re already preparing for life after the ex-Aarhus defender.
Indeed, Valencia’s Cristhian Mosquera ranks highly on the club’s shopping list.
