Giovanni Leoni and Oumar Solet are among several defenders heavily linked with a summer transfer to Inter Milan.
According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri would rather sign the Liverpool starlet over the Udinese center-back.
Giovanni Leoni was one of Inter’s great wishes last summer.
However, Liverpool beat the San Siro giants to the punch, striking a lightning-fast agreement with Parma.
Indeed, the Reds splashed out nearly €30 million to secure the 19-year-old’s signature, only for the player to suffer a severe knee injury at the start of his adventure at Anfield.
As a result, Leoni has missed the entire season, failing to make a single Premier League appearance.
Inter Milan to Pursue Giovanni Leoni Over Oumar Solet
Despite his lengthy spell on the sidelines, the former Parma center-back remains on Inter’s shortlist.
Furthermore, Cristian Chivu’s men view the Italian prodigy as a better fit to their long-term project than Solet.
In addition to his legal issues, the 26-year-old commands a substantial €30 million price tag.
However, it’s fair to say that Solet’s valuation perfectly reflects his outstanding performances this season.
