Juventus shifts focus to Liverpool's Giovanni Leoni in transfer plans

Summary

Juventus is reportedly moving to acquire Liverpool's Giovanni Leoni after determining that Arsenal's Riccardo Calafiori is unattainable. Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport states that Juventus had been interested in Calafiori but finds his presence with Arsenal and high likely asking price prohibitive. As a result, the club is refocusing efforts on targeting players from Premier League clubs, including Leoni, who is recovering from an ACL injury. Juventus plans regular scouting of Leoni's progress as they explore a potential transfer.
