Juventus interested in Liverpool defender Giovanni Leoni amid rebuild efforts

Summary

Juventus aims to strengthen its squad by targeting Liverpool defender Giovanni Leoni, according to a report. The 19-year-old, who has faced injury issues, is part of a strategy to build an Italian core within the team. Juventus previously explored a loan for Leoni but were unsuccessful as Liverpool appears unwilling to part with the young talent. The club's focus on Italian players marks a shift from last season's reliance on foreign signings. This development is seen as a critical move for Juventus as they look to regain credibility and reconnect with their traditional roots.
