Quick Summary

Juventus is reportedly preparing to make another bid for Liverpool defender Leoni, who they initially tried to sign along with Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori and Chelsea’s Marco Palestra but could not secure due to high costs and player profiles. Despite having made just one first-team appearance after a serious injury, Leoni remains a coveted target as Juventus aims to rebuild its squad with strong Italian players. The club has already faced rejections from Liverpool but continues to monitor the defender closely.

Story summary

Juventus are reportedly interested in signing Leoni, an Italian centre-back who joined Liverpool from Parma last summer for £26m. Despite having played only one first-team match due to a knee injury, Leoni remains highly sought after by European clubs. Juventus plans to rebuild its squad with a strong Italian core and has already approached Liverpool multiple times about taking Leoni on loan, undeterred by previous rejections. The Italian club initially targeted Arsenal's Riccardo Calafiori and Chelsea's Marco Palestra but deemed them unattainable. Juventus scouts continue to monitor Leoni weekly, though Liverpool is reluctant to let him leave so soon into his contract.
