AC Milan and Inter remain firmly embroiled in a transfer battle for highly-rated Parma center-back Giovanni Leoni.

Per FCInterNews, the Crusaders have pinned a substantial €30 million price tag on their jewel.

Despite forking out only €5 million to sign him from Sampdoria last summer, Parma could make six times that figure now.

Indeed, Giovanni Leoni has become one of Serie A’s most wanted talents.

Meanwhile, Milan and Inter lead the race but face stiff competition from abroad.

Leoni could leave Parma for €25m, yet only if the club to secure his signature let him stay for another season.

However, the Milan clubs would prefer an immediate transfer.

Inter are particularly keen to land the 18-year-old as new boss Cristian Chivu advocates for a reunion.

Therefore, they must meet Parma’s valuation. Otherwise, they’d open the door for foreign suitors to swoop in and take him away.

Atletico Madrid, Bournemouth, and Tottenham Hotspur are lurking in the shadows.

Still, Leoni would prefer to stay in his homeland, handing the San Siro tenants a massive boost.
