Tottenham is one of the clubs showing a strong interest in the potential transfer of the central defender of Parma Wonderkid Giovanni Leoni.
Sources with close links with the agent industry have informed Taken into account That the Spurs even plan to make an opening offer in the region of 25 million euros for the 18 -year -old.
The scouts of Tottenham have watched Léoni closely lately, the talented Italian teenager making 17 Serie A appearances in the season that has just disappeared.
A central back standing at 6 feet 5 inches and capable of playing with both feet, Leoni looks like a player with a big future, and sources have also mentioned many other interested clubs.
Taken into account It has been said that Napoli, Inter Milan and AC Milan are interested in breaking it, while the Spurs are joined by Bournemouth and Wolves as clubs wishing to amuse it in the Premier League.
Giovanni Leoni to seal Tottenham’s transfer?
Everything is still in the early stadiums here, but Leoni was like a superb young talent, and there is a lot of excitement about it in the game.
Parma is aware of the type of prodigy they have in their hands, but there could also be some pressure to sell if the right offer is coming.
Although Tottenham is preparing to offer around 25 million euros for Leoni, a source insisted that the requested price of Parma would be a little higher.
“Parma demanding at least 35 million euros,” was the message of our source, which added that it was considered a “rising star” by several scouts and directors.
Could Leoni be attracted to England?
Spurs would clearly manage very well to take Leoni before the biggest clubs in Italy, but we imagine that he could be tempted by a stint at English football.
Bournemouth could also be an attractive destination after their improvement under the direction of Andoni Iraola, the cherries who also need a replacement for another young central defender whom they signed by Serie A, Dean Huijsen, who recently left Real Madrid.
Leoni may well consider clubs as Tottenham and Bournemouth like good springboards for him before sealing an even larger movement in the near future.
