Report – Inter Milan Still Hoping To Sign Parma Star In Player + Cash
Inter Milan are reportedly still hoping to sign Parma defender Giovanni Leoni for an offer of Sebastiano Esposito plus cash. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. For the last several weeks, Inter have been heavily linked with Parma defender Giovanni Leoni. Reportedly, the 19-year-old is the player the Nerazzurri see as ideal for the long-term future of their defense. Furthermore, the fact that Leoni had worked with coach Cristian Chivu last season has further bumped him up Inter's list of targets. However, the price tag for Leoni would be quite high. Reportedly, Parma are holding out for as much as €40 million to sell the teenage defender. Inter Hoping To Sign Giovanni Leoni For Esposito + Cash VERONA, ITALY – DECEMBER 08: Sebastiano Esposito of Empoli FC during the Serie A match between Verona and Empoli at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on December 08, 2024 in Verona, Italy. (Photo by) Naturally, that €40 million valuation is a big hurdle for Inter in their efforts to sign Leoni. However, the Nerazzurri are hoping that they can lower that fee. Inter's idea would be to include striker Sebastiano Esposito in an offer. The 23-year-old is a player who Inter value at around €7 million. The fact that his contract runs out at the end of June restricts how much they could realistically get for him. Fiorentina and Cagliari are keen on Esposito. However, neither have managed to make a deal for the striker yet. Therefore, reports the Corriere dello Sport, Inter are aiming to potentially use Esposito as a makeweight in a deal for Leoni.
