AC Milan and Juventus have also emerged as potential suitors.

Furthermore, Liverpool and Manchester United are in the mix, as they’ve noted the 18-year-old’s talent.

However, Inter sit at the head of the queue.

Indeed, the player wants to reunite with Cristian Chivu, who launched his career in Serie A.

Chivu established Leoni as a regular starter at Ennio Tardini in the second half of last season.

Therefore, the teenage sensation prefers to work with a familiar coach.

Yet, Inter must raise funds from player sales to finance Leoni’s arrival, with Parma reluctant to budge on their €40m valuation.
