Liverpool Transfer Deal for Giovanni Leoni Is Disappointing and I Am Angry About It - Liverpool Echo

- Liverpool is close to signing 18-year-old defender Giovanni Leoni from Parma to strengthen their center-back options this summer.
- The pursuit of Leoni follows Liverpool's need to replace Jarell Quansah, who left for Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer.
- Leoni joined Parma from Sampdoria last summer, has made 17 Serie A appearances, and Liverpool has reportedly tabled a bid around £31 million plus bonuses.
