Tottenham and Newcastle ready to submit official offer for Giovanni Leoni
Tottenham and Newcastle United are ready to make offers for Giovanni Leoni, with Parma demanding as much as €30-40 million for the defensive sensation.
According to Caught Offside, Giovanni Leoni is attracting considerable interest from Premier League sides. Tottenham and Newcastle United are ready to make offers for the 18-year-old Serie A wonderkid, with Parma demanding as much as €30-40 million for the teenager.
Giovanni Leoni has had a massive impact with his performances, with the young defender making 17 Serie A appearances for Parma last season. Despite his limited experience at the top level, the 18-year-old Serie A wonderkid is already attracting big interest from top clubs.
Teams from within Serie A are keen, with Italian giants like Juventus, Milan, Inter, Napoli, and Bologna are all tracking his progress. Parma are likely to sell the 18-year-old Serie A wonderkid if an offer around the €30-40 million mark arrives on their table.
Premier League giants like Liverpool and Chelsea had been interested before, and if they are still on the case of the teenage defender remains to be seen. Now, Tottenham and Newcastle United are showing big admiration with the duo, ready to launch offers for the 18-year-old Serie A wonderkid.
Spurs had been interested, and they are in the market to add cover or competition for key areas, including central defence. The North Londoners are adding quality via younger profiles to their squad, and they, alongside Newcastle United, view Leoni as someone who could add quality depth as well as come into the action straight away.
Giovanni Leoni to the Premier League?
Leoni has all the attributes to shine in the Premier League, as joining one of Spurs or Newcastle United will allow him to gain experience in the Champions League. The Magpies are looking for a young defender to cover for their experienced stars at the back, and the 18-year-old Serie A wonderkid would fit in perfectly into Eddie Howe’s system.
However, the asking price demanded by Parma could be a sticky point for either Spurs or Newcastle United. It remains to be seen whether either club are willing to pay as much for a young and inexperienced star, although the money could be viewed as a big investment for the future, as the teenager has the attributes to become a top star in the future.
