Italian media: Parma asks Leoni for 35 million to 40 million euros this summer, and may rise to 70 million next summer

According to Inter Milan News, Parma refused to use players to pay Leoni's transfer fee, and Leoni's value is expected to rise to 60 million euros next summer.

18-year-old Leoni is an Italian central defender. He became the main player of Parma in the second half of last season. The Parma coach at that time was Zivo. After Ziwo came to Inter to coach, he hoped Inter could sign his favorite player. But Leoni has attracted the interest of many clubs at home and abroad, and Parma has asked for his quotation of 35 million to 40 million euros, and has required a certain proportion of the players to retain the second-transfer share.

Previously, it was reported that Parma was interested in two Inter players, Sebastiano Esposito and Aslani, and Inter Milan hoped to join Leoni's transfer negotiations, plus a 15 million euros in cash to buy Leoni. This is a good solution for Inter Milan. It can not only sign the players you like at a lower price, but also clear out the redundant players in the team.

However, Inter Milan News pointed out that Parma does not accept Inter Milan's proposal, and he only wants to obtain cash by selling Leoni. Moreover, Sebastiano Esposito is not Parma's risk signing target. As for Aslani, Parma appreciates his abilities, but Parma already has Bernabé, a player with similar characteristics. Unless Parma sells Bernabé this summer, there will be no more Aslani.

At present, two other Serie A giants Juventus and Milan are also paying attention to Leoni, but have not taken specific actions yet. Parma has signed new defender Nyahart Ndiaye to prevent Leoni from leaving this summer. But for Parma, they are not in a hurry to sell Leoni this summer, but hope that Leoni will stay in the team and play for another year.

Parma believes that as long as Leoni plays a full season as a starting center back, he will be called up by the Italian national team, and the player's valuation will be further raised to 60 million to 70 million euros next summer. Although such a high price is beyond the reach of Serie A clubs, Premier League clubs still have the financial resources to introduce Leoni.
