Liverpool's plan for Giovanni Leoni as Reds to beat two Premier League rivals to teen star
Liverpool are set to secure another transfer in the coming days as they near a full agreement for Parma's teenage star Giovanni Leoni to add to Arne Slot's first team squad Liverpool are set to land Parma defender Giovanni Leoni for an initial £26m. The Reds are closing in on a full agreement with the Serie A side for the centre-back. Leoni, 18, is ready to jet to England to complete a medical once the final terms are agreed in the next 24 hours. Liverpool have beaten Inter Milan and AC Milan to his signature. Parma were keen for the player to spend this season on loan with them but the Reds are ready to put him into their first-team squad. Leoni will join be part of the squad alongside Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez, who has returned to training this week. Liverpool are also trying to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi and are continuing talks with their Premier League counterparts for a deal of around £35m. Leoni replaces Jarell Quansah, who was sold to Bayer Leverkusen for £30m earlier in the window. Leoni broke into Parma starting line-up in the second half of last season and made 17 appearances. He can play in the middle of a back three or on the right side of a two. Liverpool's sporting director Richard Hughes remains in talks with Parma chief executive, Federico Cherubini but the main parts of the deal are agreed. Liverpool missed out on young centre-backs in the last couple of window after failed attempts to land Levi Colwill, Leny Yoro and Dean Huijsen. Colwill stayed with Chelsea while Yoro preferred Manchester United when he left Lille and Huijsen picked Real Madrid this summer. The deal does not make any difference to Liverpool's pursuit of Guehi with talks to continue through this week. Guehi, 25, has just one year left on his contract at Selhurst Park and wants to make the move to Anfield. Liverpool want to do a deal this summer but could take him for free in 12 months. Palace chairman Steve Parish does not want to let Guehi go for free but also wants over £40m for him with negotiations to continue. Palace turned down a £70m bid from Newcastle in January and went on to win the FA Cup. They have been demoted to the Conference League but they are still set for a big season and would want to replace Guehi if he departs so want to command as high a fee as possible.

Paul Parker: Conference League spot would be ‘step forward' at Manchester United
Slovenia international Sesko completed his switch from RB Leipzig on Saturday, in a deal worth up to £73.7million, as United continued their summer recruitment drive following the signings of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. However, Parker – who won two Premier League titles as well as the 1994 FA Cup with United – believes expectations levels must be set to a realistic level as Ruben Amorim aims to move his side back up the Premier League table after what was their worst top-flight campaign in 51 years. From Radece to Manchester 👣 Look back on Benjamin's journey, as his United story gets started 📈 — Manchester United (@ManUtd) August 11, 2025 'Manchester United's season this season, you have got to say, will be better than the previous one – it has to be or they will be relegated. It is a simple as that,' Parker told the PA news agency. 'It is not about getting back into the Champions League, it is more about just a European spot. 'Everyone will be saying, 'oh, United have to be better than the Conference League' – but why have they? United finished 15th last season. 'If at the end of the season, they are in the Conference League, then that would be a step forward and is European football.' Parker feels Sesko, 22, deciding to head to Old Trafford without the opportunity of playing at Europe's top table again next season – as he could have done at Newcastle – shows just how much a lure United continues to be. 'Any player with any ambition and who wants to do something big will play for Manchester United, regardless of being in any European competition or the Champions League,' said Parker, who is an ambassador for Prostate Cancer UK, the country's largest men's health charity. 'When someone like Sesko goes to a club like Manchester United, with no European football, and scores 20 goals, then he is a superstar. 'Everything is going to be about him and Manchester United growing on to become what they were – and what they should be.' Parker added: 'Then in Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, United have signed two high-energy players who run with the ball and without the ball. They are both players the manager has not got to ask to work hard. 'So if the manager gets his best XI out there, I am just interested to see how it is all going to work.' Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in men – and there are far too many men being diagnosed late, when it is harder to treat. Parker's father was diagnosed with prostate cancer during lockdown in 2020, and the former England full-back continues to support Prostate Cancer UK campaigns. The season's kicking off – and so is something even bigger 📢#ProstateUnited is BACK this October! ⚽ Represent your club alongside the kit men, physios and maybe even your gaffer and help save men's lives. ➡️ Sign up now: l #Football — Prostate Cancer UK (@ProstateUK) August 7, 2025 'You can tell your best mate to do it (get checked out), they will listen and bob their head, then the next couple of days they go, 'no, I won't do that because I feel alright' – but it is one of those things which can just drop down and grab you,' Parker, 61, said. 'With prostate cancer, it is earlier the better and that has been proven so many times. The earlier they can find it, then the more comfortable you can be.' :: One in eight men will get prostate cancer, a statistic which shortens to one in four if you are black – but it is a disease that is curable if caught early.
