Liverpool’s summer transfer business looks to gain further momentum, with the club now on the verge of a deal with highly rated Parma defender Giovanni Leoni.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the negotiations are in the final stages and a comprehensive agreement can be reached within the next 24 hours or even faster.
It is understood that the 18-year-old centre-back’s proposed fee is in the £30 million region, and some sources have indicated that it may drop slightly once add-ons and performance-related terms are included in the figure.

This represents a significant investment in one of Italy’s smartest defensive prospects and says Liverpool is committed to ensuring immediate strengthening and long-term stability.
Leoni has been within the reach of several top European clubs, but Liverpool advanced to all other clubs in the game to sign a talented young defender.
Increasing defensive depth is crucial to the Reds this summer as they sold Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen, while Ibrahima Konate faces an uncertain future due to his contract issues.
Italian defender can develop well in Anfield
Under Virgil van Dijk, Leoni can develop his own game and challenge a place in the club’s starting lineup soon.
With Jacobs reporting that the negotiations are now in its final stages, Liverpool fans will soon welcome another exciting young talent from Merseyside.
As far as other goals are concerned, the Premier League champion is also chasing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. He is a place to challenge the starting lineup immediately and provide the experience and quality behind the Arne slot.
