The more than € 300 million spent on the transfer window had not yet satisfied Liverpool. Insatiable, the English club has still signed a check for 35 M € for a blow that few people had come. The Reds have just recruited the very young Giovanni Leoni, 18, central defender who came straight from Parma with whom he will have known only 17 series A.
The Italian still finished the titular season, he who had been recruited from the Sampdoria in Serie B for € 4.5 million a year ago. 29 professional meetings will have been enough to convince the champion of England to go for him. “”The Liverpool FC finalized the signature of defender Giovanni Leoni de Parme, subject to international authorization and a validated work permit application. The 18 -year -old joins the Champions of England after having passed a medical examination and signed a long -term contract“Said the Reds press release. He replaces Jarell Quansah, who left for Bayer Leverkusen earlier in the summer.
