Report: Liverpool eye move for Parma centre-back Giovanni Leoni
Currently playing for Parma, Leoni has attracted interest from Serie A giants AC Milan and Inter Milan, but Liverpool's recruitment team appears ready to step up their efforts to secure the promising talent, according to Tuttosport, as relayed by FCInterNews.
This comes amid growing concerns over Liverpool's defensive depth following a shaky display in their season opener at the Community Shield against Crystal Palace at Wembley. Liverpool lost the match on penalties after twice surrendering the lead.
Despite showing fluid football in the first half, with Hugo Ekitike scoring early for Palace after just four minutes, and new signings Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Jeremie Frimpong all registering goal contributions, the Reds' defence struggled.
Captain Virgil van Dijk faced criticism for his involvement in both goals conceded, highlighting vulnerabilities, especially against Palace's counter-attacking threat.
A key moment came in the second half when Milos Kerkez made a crucial goal-saving block, but the defensive frailties were evident.
Liverpool's centre-back position remains their weakest link in terms of depth.
The senior options include Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, and the injured Joe Gomez, while Jarrell Quansah was sold earlier this off-season.
