Leoni has already been watched closely by Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, while Italian giants Inter and AC Milan are long-term admirers, according to reports
Parma have reportedly set a €40 million price tag for the defender, but that has not deterred Premier League sides in the 2025 summer transfer window.
