Liverpool have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Parma’s teenage sensation Giovanni Leoni, as the Reds continue to invest in the future.
The 17-year-old Italian defender has been making waves in Serie B with his composure on the ball, tactical maturity, and ability to read the game far beyond his years. His performances for Parma’s senior side last season caught the attention of scouts across Europe, but it appears Liverpool have moved quickest to secure his signature.
According to multiple reports in Italy, the deal is believed to be worth around €5 million, with potential add-ons included. Leoni is expected to initially join Liverpool’s academy setup but could be fast-tracked into the senior squad depending on his progress.
Jürgen Klopp’s side have been actively scouting young talents as part of their long-term squad planning, with Leoni seen as a potential successor in the heart of defense in the coming years.
If confirmed, Leoni would become Liverpool’s third signing of the summer, following [previous signings’ names], as the club looks to blend experience with exciting youth prospects.
📅 Official announcement expected in the coming days.
