"Liverpool" football club is on the verge of signing a contract with 18-year-old Giovanni Leoni, who is playing as a central defender for the Italian team "Parma." This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The young player has agreed to move to the famous English club, and the club representatives are currently conducting final negotiations on the terms of the agreement. The parties are expected to reach an agreement on all matters soon.
Famous former Italian coach Arrigo Sacchi also positively evaluated Leoni's move to England. He emphasized the following in his opinion: "I am confident that Leoni will become a key pillar of the Italian national team's defense in the future.
Although some people express doubts about his move to Liverpool, I see no reason for that. Even though he has only played 17 games in the Italian championship, that is enough.
Because in those games, he fully demonstrated the qualities needed. The player's talent is immediately noticeable.
Some may play in hundreds of games in the championship, but Leoni was able to show his high-level skills even in his first season. Talent is not related to age," said Arrigo Sacchi.
