Report – Inter Milan Or AC Milan Could Move For Fiorentina Star As Alternative To Parma Wonderkid | OneFootball

Inter Milan or AC Milan could look to Fiorentina defender Pietro Comuzzo as an alternative to Giovanni Leoni.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Corriere della Sera, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan and AC Milan look to be in for a real transfer battle this summer over Giovanni Leoni.

The Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri are not the only clubs with an interest in the teenage defender at Parma. Juventus are also keen, whilst Liverpool have also reportedly joined the race.

However, Inter and Milan are reportedly the two main contenders for Leoni’s signature.

The Nerazzurri want to reunite Leoni with coach Cristian Chivu, who brought the best out of the 19-year-old at Parma. However, their city rivals look to be just as determined to sign him.

Clearly, at least one of Inter or Milan will miss out on Leoni’s signature.

And according to the Corriere della Sera, the clubs would both have a clear alternative.

Fiorentina defender Pietro Comuzzo has a similar profile to Leoni.

Like the Parma defender, Comuzzo is very young – just twenty years of age.

And similarly to Leoni, Comuzzo has already proven to be a very strong and physical defender with no shortage of height.

Therefore, the Corriere della Sera report, Inter or Milan could make Comuzzo their backup target to Leoni to bolster their respective backlines this summer transfer window.
