Tottenham and Newcastle are preparing to submit an official bid for Giovanni Leoni.
Tottenham and Newcastle United are set to make offers for Giovanni Leoni, with Parma asking for between €30-40 million for the young defender. According to Caught Offside, the 18-year-old Serie A star is getting a lot of attention from Premier League clubs. Both Tottenham and Newcastle are ready to put in bids for Leoni, who has been making a big impression since joining Parma.
Leoni has already made 17 Serie A appearances for Parma last season.
Although he has limited experience at the top level, his performances have caught the eye of some of the biggest teams in Europe. Italian clubs like Juventus, Milan, Inter, Napoli, and Bologna are all keeping an eye on him, and Parma might be willing to sell if they get an offer near the €30-40 million mark.
Before, clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea were also interested in Leoni.
It’s not clear yet if they’re still looking, but Tottenham and Newcastle have now stepped in, showing a lot of interest in the young defender. Tottenham are looking to strengthen key areas of their squad, especially in central defense. They are also adding young talent to their team, and they, along with Newcastle, believe Leoni could bring quality and play straight away.
Giovanni Leoni has the skills to make an impact in the Premier League, and joining a club like Tottenham Hotspur or Newcastle United would give him the chance to play in the Champions League. Newcastle are seeking a young defender to support their more experienced players in defense, and the 18-year-old Serie A talent would blend well with Eddie Howe's team structure.
But the price Parma are asking could be a problem for either club.
It's unclear if Tottenham or Newcastle are ready to pay that much for a young player with limited experience. Still, the investment might be worth it in the long run, as Leoni has the potential to become a top player in the future.
