Liverpool are closing Parma defender Giovanni Leoni.
According to the Times, Liverpool will sign the defense lawyer for a fee of about £26 million. The report claims Manchester United and Newcastle United signed a late inquiry against the players, but Liverpool managed to win his signature.
Leoni may be a future star
The 18-year-old is a great young talent who has been highly regarded throughout Europe. With the right guidance, he can develop into Liverpool’s top player. They need a deeper depth in the defensive force, and the Italians may prove to be a master in the long run.
The talented young defender is expected to be part of Liverpool’s first team for the upcoming campaign. It’s interesting whether you can quickly adapt to British football and keep the regular starting point.
Liverpool is also related to Marc Guehi’s move. Whether they can sign the Crystal Palace defender now remains to be seen. So far, this is a great transfer window for Liverpool, with multiple talented players.
Liverpool’s move will delight Giovanni Leoni
At the same time, the opportunity to join a club like Liverpool will be very exciting for the Italians. He will seek to play the Reds regularly and continue his development. He has all the tools to develop into a top Premier League with the right guidance. Liverpool has done a great job of developing young players for years and they can play a key role in his growth.
In the long run, if the defender manages to reach his potential, the reported expenses look like a major bargain. Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate are vulnerable to injury and Leoni may have plenty of chances this season.
