Parma are reportedly open to selling Giovanni Leoni amid growing interest from Liverpool and Inter Milan.
According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the Crusaders have set the starting price at €30 million.
Despite recent reports suggesting otherwise, Parma will negotiate the sale of the 18-year-old.
Indeed, Giovanni Leoni is the club’s most prized asset, meaning his exit will significantly bolster their coffers.
Therefore, the race for his signature is officially underway.
Liverpool’s interest has gained momentum in recent days.
Indeed, after their pursuit of Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi suffered a blow, they’ve turned to Leoni.
Meanwhile, Inter have been hot on the youngster’s trail since the start of the summer.
However, a lack of finances has thrown a spanner in the works, forcing the San Siro club to sit and wait.
Despite Parma’s initial €40 million valuation, they’ve shown readiness to lower their demands.
That must be music to Liverpool’s ears, considering they boast the economic prowess to pull off a deal of this magnitude.
