According to Sportitalia via FCInterNews, the Reds’ interest is serious amid rumors linking the player with Inter Milan.

Liverpool Among Several Premier League Clubs Keen on Giovanni Leoni
Despite attracting interest from top Serie A clubs, Leoni could swap Ennio Tardini for the Premier League.
While Liverpool remain the likeliest candidates to lure the teenager to England, they’re not alone.
Indeed, some other Premier League sides have inquired about the young gun, though talks were mostly informal.
Meanwhile, Parma chiefs must be rubbing their hands.
Though they had initially expected to earn around €30 million from Leoni’s transfer, the price has suddenly gone up.
Now, the Crusaders demand €40 million to green-light Leoni’s departure, which looks inevitable.
