Report – Parma Reject Players From Inter Milan In Exchange For Liverpool Target: Cash Only | OneFootball

Parma have firmly rejected any player swap offers from Inter Milan, insisting on a cash-only deal for Giovanni Leoni.

According to FCInterNews, the Crusaders have made it abundantly clear that they only want cash for their sought-after teenager.

Giovanni Leoni has established himself as one of the hottest prospects in European football.

Despite breaking onto the grand stage only last season, the 18-year-old already has plenty of admirers.

Indeed, in addition to Inter, AC Milan, Juventus, and Liverpool have shown interest in his services.

Parma have slapped a substantial €40 million bid on Leoni’s head.

However, Inter had hoped to include several players as a makeweight to drive the price down.

Kristjan Asllani and Sebastiano Esposito are the players in question.

Yet, their request has fallen on the Crusaders’ deaf ears.

Instead, they’re only interested in taking hard cash for their most prized asset.

That’s the last thing the Nerazzurri would want to hear, especially now that Liverpool have intensified their interest.

Indeed, aware of Inter’s financial constraints, the Reds are keen to accelerate talks with Parma.
