Newcastle United and Tottenham are at the forefront of the pursuit in England, while Italian powerhouses Juventus, Milan, Inter, Napoli, and Bologna are also keen. Olympique de Marseille in France is another club keeping a close eye on Leoni’s development. Parma’s valuation of €30–40 million underscores the defender’s potential and immediate impact at the highest level.
