Liverpool are reportedly interested in teenage defender Giovanni Leoni, who could save the club millions in the transfer market.

However, it has been claimed that Liverpool are interested in Parma teenager Leoni, who would cost a fraction of the price.

Reports from talkSPORT suggest that Liverpool are one of at least 10 Premier League clubs to have enquired about 18-year-old defender Leoni’s availability.



Meanwhile, Inter Milan, who are now coached by Chivu, are also said to be among the interested clubs and it is suggested that Leoni would prefer to stay in Italy.

Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport has previously suggested that Leoni is valued at around £13m (€15m).

Liverpool are reportedly in pole position to sign Palace star Guehi and continue their summer spending spree, which has included a deal for Florian Wirtz that could be worth up to £116m.

Palace previously valued Guehi at £70m but have since reduced the price to £50m as the England international enters the last year of his contract.

Palace have been unable to agree fresh terms with the 24-year-old.

The combination of a potential deal for Leoni and snapping up Guehi as a free agent would see Liverpool sign two defenders for £13m across two summers.

That would be £37m less than Real Madrid paid Bournemouth for Huijsen.

Despite his limited first team experience, Leoni impressed when called upon last season.
