“SHOCKER: Tottenham Unleash Jaw-Dropping €100M MEGA Bid to Snag Italy’s Teenage Superstar Sensation!”

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly weighing up a €25 million opening bid for Parma’s highly-rated teenage defender Giovanni Leoni, according to sources close to the agency world who spoke to CaughtOffside.

Spurs scouts have been closely tracking the 18-year-old, who made 17 appearances in Serie A last season and has attracted significant interest across Europe.

Leoni, a 6ft 5in centre-back comfortable with both feet, is seen as a player with immense potential.

Tottenham are not alone in their pursuit, with other Premier League clubs like Bournemouth and Wolves also expressing interest.

Meanwhile, Serie A giants Napoli, Inter Milan, and AC Milan are all keen to sign the Italian prospect.

Though Tottenham are understood to be preparing a €25m offer, insiders suggest this may fall short of Parma’s valuation.

One source noted the club is demanding at least €35m for Leoni, who is viewed by scouts and club directors as a “rising star” in Italian football.

While a deal is still in its early stages, the buzz surrounding Leoni suggests a bidding war could be on the horizon.

Parma are fully aware of the talent they possess but could be forced to consider a sale if a substantial offer is made.

Tottenham hope to beat their Italian rivals to his signature, potentially capitalising on the player’s openness to a move to the Premier League.

The allure of English football, particularly under Spurs’ current project, could sway Leoni’s decision.

Bournemouth also present an appealing option. After a strong campaign under Andoni Iraola, they are on the lookout for a replacement for Dean Huijsen, who recently joined Real Madrid.

Leoni could view clubs like Spurs or Bournemouth as ideal stepping stones on his path to the top.
