Italian football reporter Daniele Verri praised the defender in an interview after Leoni signed with Liverpool.

reporter said: "Leoni has a very obvious air advantage, and he is also a skilled player. He can go forward from the defensive position and participate in the backcourt organization, but his most outstanding contribution is obviously reflected in his ability to control air."

" Several major Italian clubs, including Milan and Inter Milan, have also pursued him, so I didn't expect the Premier League clubs to take bold actions so early. But Liverpool directly provided a quote, and the amount may even be slightly higher than Parma's initial price."

"Who would not want to play at Anfield? I think any player would be happy to join Liverpool. Of course, there is the Premier League." The game is the most exciting and attractive league in the world right now. "

"I originally wanted to see Leoni join the Italian club before going abroad. But this is football, and the market is open. When a club like Liverpool makes a 30 million UEFA floating offer, it is difficult to refuse such an invitation."

"For him, it will be difficult to start frequently, and he understands this himself, but I think it is not the main problem at his age. Having the opportunity to be a member of such a strong lineup, especially being able to fight alongside top players like Van Dijk, will be a huge opportunity for him."
