Leeds United player set for Serie A move

Leeds United goalkeeper Lucas Perri is reportedly close to joining Serie A side Torino.

The Brazilian goalkeeper joined Leeds from Lyon for a fee of £15 million last summer but he is set for an early departure.

Perri initially made a positive impact at the club and he made 16 Premier League appearances.

However, a number of errors saw him lose his place in the winter and he was unable to reclaim his place in Daniel Farke's team.

Football Insider have reported that Perri is now in advanced talks to move to Torino.

It is claimed that the move will be a permanent one, rather than a loan to buy option.

Leeds are likely to make a loss on the deal and it is expected that they will only be able to reclaim around half of the fee they paid twelve months ago.

However, the club are keen to complete the deal as they prepare to sign James Trafford from Manchester City.

Trafford is widely expected to be England's next number one goalkeeper and that process could be accelerated if he is able to excel at Elland Road.
