Legendary former head coach Sacchi provided his two cents on Leoni’s imminent move to Liverpool, claiming that while the Reds are making “a great move”, he was left a “little bit angry” that no big Serie A outfit competed for the Parma sensation’s signing.

Liverpool have begun planning for the future, well-aware that Virgil van Dijk, now aged 34, will only decline from here on. What’s more, there’s immense uncertainty over Ibrahima Konate’s future, too, with the Frenchman on ‘s radar, having entered the final year of his contract at Anfield. The champions are eyeing a double defensive swoop with Leoni and star Marc Guehi. They are reportedly inching closer to reaching an agreement with Parma for Leoni, who are demanding €30 million (£26m/$35m) plus bonuses for the 18-year-old centre-back.

Sacchi provided his thoughts in a column for La Gazzetta dello Sport. The Italian admitted that Premier League sides have more spending power, but still questioned the likes of Napoli, , , and AC Milan for struggling to pay the fee Parma have demanded for Leoni.

“Liverpool are reaching out forGiovanni Leoni; on the one hand, the news makes me immensely happy, but on the other, it makes me a little angry,” Sacchi wrote. “Let me explain: I’m happy that an Italian player is receiving praise from a major club like Liverpool, but I’d like it to be AC Milan or Inter, Juve orNapolicompeting for his transfer, and not a foreign club.

“I’m told: Italian teams don’t have the same financial resources as English ones. That’s very true, but I’d add: why hasn’t the football product been exploited here like in ? Why is it so complicated to buy a €40 million defender for an Italian club, yet Liverpool doesn’t even bother? We’ll see if the deal goes through, but in any case, I feel like the Reds would make a great move by securing this boy, whom I followed with curiosity and interest in the second half of last season.”

Negotiations for Leoni are set to continue with Parma, with growing optimism that Liverpool will strike an agreement over the transfer fee before the transfer window deadline day. Additionally, Guehi, whose contract at Selhurst Park expires next year, could also join Arne Slot’s side.
