AC Milan Prepare Player-Plus Cash Offer For Inter Milan & Juventus Target
AC Milan are ready to offer Lorenzo Colombo plus cash to Parma for Inter Milan and Juventus linked defender Giovanni Leoni.
This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Gialloblu would prefer a straight cash bid, however.

It is certainly no secret that Giovanni Leoni is attracting transfer interest.
Parma only signed the teenage defender last summer. Reportedly they paid Sampdoria a fee of around €7 million.
However, that bet looks to have paid off in a big way for the Gialloblu.
Giovanni Leoni enjoyed an outstanding season with Parma. Particularly towards the end of the campaign.
The 18-year-old looked extremely comfortable at the heart of Parma's defense as they avoided relegation under Cristian Chivu.

However, the Nerazzurri are far from the only club interested in the teenage defender.
Juventus are also eyeing up a move for Leoni.
Moreover, it looks to be AC Milan who are really moving fast to sign the Italy Under-21 international.
According to the Gazzetta, the Rossoneri's current strategy is to try and convince Parma with a player-plus-cash bid.
The newspaper report that Milan have put striker Lorenzo Colombo on the table. The 23-year-old has just finished a season on loan with Empoli, having also turned out for Lecce and Monza in recent seasons.
In addition to Colombo, Milan are offering €13-15 million, reports the Gazzetta.
However, Parma have made clear to the Rossoneri that they only want a cash fee for Leoni.
