Inter’s interest in Giovanni Leoni it’s not that recent, actually. Nerazzurri observers have been keeping an eye on him for many months (READ HERE), also because in 2006 he practically played as a starter for Sampdoria in Serie B certainly didn’t go unnoticed. And as for Alex Perez of Betis Seville, the management wants to anticipate the competition on the most promising players, given that with the arrival of Josep Martinez the first team is practically complete, barring new opportunities in the next two months of the transfer market.
Inter’s idea towards Leoni starts from the excellent relations with Samp, who recently bought the centre-back’s contract from Padova for 1.5 million (the Venetians retain a 10% on a future resale). The Sampdoria would benefit from making some transfers and would like to collect 3-4 million for their jewel, in turn maintaining a percentage on a future transfer. Even better if they had the chance to keep him on loan for another season. A solution welcomed by the Nerazzurri, who could block an excellent prospect and at the same time monitor his growth in a competitive championship like Serie B.
The excellent relations between the parties also favor any agreement between the parties Pietro Accardisporting director of Sampdoria, e Piero Ausilio and Beppe Marotta, with whom he carried out operations for Kristjan Asllani and Martin Satriano during his time at Empoli. The Nerazzurri’s main rival could be Juventus, who however are busy on other priority transfer fronts in this period. In short, the conditions for the purchase of Giovanni Leoni by Inter are all there.
