Leeds United are going head-to-head with Napoli to sign Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savić this summer.
The Whites have shown strong interest in the Serbian shot-stopper, and it looks like a transfer battle is heating up.
Leeds Make Move for Keeper
Reports from Italy say Leeds have made contact with Torino in the last few hours.
Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio confirmed that Leeds spoke to the Serie A club to ask about the goalkeeper’s situation.
He also said Napoli are interested but have not made any official move yet.
The 28-year-old keeper has less than one year left on his current deal at Torino, though there is an option to extend for one more year.
However, there’s a release clause in his contract, €19m for Italian clubs and €21m for foreign clubs.
That means if Leeds want him, they’ll need to pay the €21 million fee.
Leeds are now one of the teams in the race and could land the experienced goalkeeper if they act quickly.
A Strong Option for Farke
Milinković-Savić played 39 matches last season, keeping 11 clean sheets and letting in 44 goals.
That’s a solid record for a keeper playing in a tough league like Serie A.
Leeds boss Daniel Farke is looking for more strength at the back as the club prepares for a new season.
Bringing in a reliable and experienced keeper like Milinković-Savić could make a big difference.
The Serbian international is known for his big frame, strong hands, and quick reactions. At 6’8”, he commands his box well and can be a real threat in the air.
He could give Leeds the defensive stability they need after some shaky performances last season.
Napoli Still in the Picture
Napoli are also keeping an eye on Milinković-Savić, and Italian journalist Ciro Venerato warned that they must be careful of Leeds in the race.
He said Leeds are “also interested” and could make a serious move.
If Napoli don’t act fast, they might lose out on the Serbian keeper.
Leeds United are showing real ambition this summer, and signing Vanja Milinković-Savić would be a strong move.
With Napoli watching closely, the Whites must act quickly if they want to bring the Serbian to Elland Road.
Fans will be watching closely to see if this deal goes through. It could be a key signing for Leeds as they aim to stay strong in the Premier League.
