According to confirmation by multiple media, Liverpool has finalized Parma's 18-year-old talented central defender Leoni. The deal took only 8 days from contact to completion. Liverpool took the talented central defender away from Serie A for a transfer fee of 35 million euros. Although many Serie A clubs are interested in Leoni, including AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus, they are interested in signing contracts, but the transfer fee of more than 30 million euros still discourages them, and in the end, Liverpool completed the signing contract by cutting the mess.

Liverpool's focus on strengthening this summer window has been on the offensive end. Although there are players on the defensive line like Flynnpon and Korkoz, they are almost all reinforcements for the opponent. Instead, there are not many new players joining in the central defender position. This does not mean that Liverpool has no shortcomings in the position of central defender. Van Dijk has just renewed his contract with the team, but Gomez's injury problem and Connate's renewal problem cannot be solved in a short time. Liverpool also sent Kanssa away this summer window, and the team also needs a new central defender to join.

18-year-old Leoni appeared on the stage of the Serie A for the first time last season, and soon gained the attention of the giants with his solid basic skills and excellent control skills. Although he is not old, he can effectively read the game and is good at using his 1.96-meter body to complete the position and limit the opponent's shots. Whether it is a confrontation or steal, it can put pressure on the opponent's offensive players. Leoni is considered to be the defensive pillar of Italy in the future, but the Serie A giants are all limited by many issues such as transfer fees and missed this piece of jade.

Of course, even though Leoni's future is favored by many people, he is still an 18-year-old young man now and still lacks game experience. He still has a long way to go before becoming a top central defender. Leoni joins the Premier League from Serie A, Liverpool is definitely a very good choice. There are personnel vacant positions in the team's central defenders, including Van Dijk, etc., which can bring him growth experience. Stay at Liverpool and top central defenders to learn. Leoni's future is worth looking forward to, and Liverpool's deal is still very cost-effective. The transfer fee of

35 million euros is not a big problem for Liverpool. The team has invested 300 million euros this summer window, and it is also possible to sign players like Isak and Guy as players of their year of play. Signing Leoni is more about investing in the future. The team needs fresh blood to join. As for whether he can succeed Van Dijk in the future, it depends on his growth rate. Only with rapid progress can he have the opportunity to do this. Otherwise, Leoni will find it difficult to get too many opportunities in the fiercely competitive Premier League. It is reported that Parma retained a 10% second transfer share in this deal, and it is the fourth highest transfer fee in the club's history.
