New Inter Milan boss Cristian Chivu could have an influential role in the club’s ongoing effort to sign Parma prodigy Giovanni Leoni.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInter1908, Chivu’s appointment could prove decisive to Leoni’s transfer to San Siro.

It’s no secret that the Serie A runners-up are hot on the 18-year-old’s heels.

Despite vying for the signature of Valencia’s Cristhian Mosquera, that deal looks destined to fail.

Indeed, the player’s agent confirmed his client’s ambition to pen a new contract at Mestalla.

Therefore, Inter may soon step up their pursuit of Giovanni Leoni.

Cristian Chivu Could Give Inter Milan Quest to Sign Giovanni Leoni Helping Hand

Chivu launched Leoni’s first-team career at Stadio Ennio Tardini.

Indeed, he established the youngster as a regular in his starting XI after taking charge in February.

Now that he is back at San Siro, the Italian whizz-kid could soon complete his long-awaited move to Inter.

Despite his young age, Leoni seems ready for a quantum leap.

There’s no better manager to help him find his feet in a big club than Chivu.
