Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign 18-year-old defender Giovanni Leoni from Parma, Reds manager Arne Slot has revealed.
The centre-half has been a key target for Slot and is now set to move to Anfield in a deal worth in the region of £26m.
The Italy Under-19s international began his career at Padova and had a short spell at Sampdoria before joining Parma last summer.
He enjoyed a breakthrough Serie A campaign last season, making 17 appearances as Parma finished 16th, five points above the relegation zone.
"The clubs have agreed a deal but he has not signed for us yet.
