AC Milan Overtakes Inter in Race for Parma Defender Giovanni Leoni After Thiaw Sale
AC Milan has taken the lead over Inter Milan in the competition to sign Parma defender Giovanni Leoni, thanks to the significant funds raised from selling Malick Thiaw. The German defender’s transfer to Newcastle United, reportedly worth around 40 million euros including bonuses, has bolstered Milan’s financial power, enabling them to challenge and potentially outbid their city rivals for Leoni’s signature.
While Inter had initially shown strong interest in Leoni, AC Milan’s close relationship with Parma and their coach may give them an edge in negotiations. With Thiaw’s departure leaving a gap in their defense, Milan views Leoni as a top priority to reinforce their backline, recognizing his impressive potential in Serie A.
Leoni is also on Liverpool’s radar, adding more competition to the transfer battle. However, Milan is confident they can attract the young defender by offering clearer career prospects and more guaranteed playing time, which could be more appealing for his development. The Rossoneri’s ambition and project seem to resonate well with the player’s goals.
With newfound financial strength and an urgent need to strengthen their defense, AC Milan is moving quickly to secure Leoni before rivals make their move. The club is determined to finalize the deal soon, viewing this signing as a crucial victory in their transfer strategy and a key step to solidify their squad.
