Giovanni Leoni: From Rising Star to Liverpool’s Latest Signing
Giovanni Leoni’s football journey has taken a huge leap forward. The highly rated young defender has now completed the main part of his medical ahead of sealing a long-term move to Liverpool.
The 17-year-old, considered one of Italy’s brightest defensive prospects, will sign a six-year deal running until June 2031. His arrival marks another statement of intent from Liverpool as they look to build for the future under head coach Arne Slot.
Leoni met Slot earlier today to discuss his role in the squad and will be formally introduced at Anfield tomorrow. His composure on the ball, reading of the game, and maturity beyond his years have already turned heads across Europe, and Liverpool moved decisively to secure his signature before rivals could step in.
From a promising academy talent in Italy to a new chapter in the Premier League, Giovanni Leoni is ready to take on the challenge — and Liverpool fans will soon get their first glimpse of the club’s newest Red.
