Parma is determined to retain their promising young talent, Giovanni Leoni, despite significant interest from Serie A powerhouses Inter and Milan. Nevertheless, the club is proactively exploring alternatives, with Saba Goglichidze emerging as a prime candidate to replace Leoni should he depart in the upcoming summer transfer window.
At just 18 years old, Leoni has already made a remarkable impression in his debut Serie A season. His stellar performances have led the Ducali to value him at a substantial €40 million. Should any club, particularly Inter who appears to be the most likely suitor, manage to secure Leoni`s transfer from Stadio Tardini, Parma is prepared with a list of potential heirs.
Goglichidze Tops Parma`s Shortlist
Among the top prospects on Parma`s list is Saba Goglichidze, the Georgian international who recently celebrated his 21st birthday. Following Empoli`s relegation to Serie B, Goglichidze is widely expected to seek a move, making him an attractive option for clubs looking to bolster their squads.
While there has also been reported interest from clubs abroad, including the Saudi Pro League, Parma continues to closely monitor Goglichidze`s situation as they plan for the 2025-26 season.
