Lucas Perri is still a Leeds United player despite being heavily linked with an exit this transfer window.

The Brazilian goalkeeper's move to Torino seemed all but done after falling down the pecking order under Daniel Farke, before Olympique Marseille entered the race for him.

With the Ligue 1 outfit providing a fresh twist in the 28-year-old goalkeeper's transfer saga, his situation will be worth watching closely.

Marseille have Perri on their shortlist amid Torino's talks at Elland Road.

Manchester City have signed Geronimo Rulli from the French side to replace the Whites' new signing James Trafford.

The CEPAC Velodrome hierarchy are now assessing their options, with ex-Olympique Lyon ace one of their targets.

Torino have plans in place to sign Lucas Perri from Leeds United

Perri's move to Torino looked imminent, with medical tests already scheduled for him.

The Granata are expected to sign the goalkeeper on loan with a buy option, but Marseille could threaten the deal.

What the Serie A club are seemingly backing on is their long-standing agreement with the player to get the deal over the line.

According to Toro Zone's Giacomo Morandin on 12 August, while the agreement between the Italian side and the Whites for Perri's exit is close, it's not done yet.

Marseille inquired about the Brazil national a week ago, but he's not their priority at the moment, as they have other options on their list.

Torino are currently waiting for the West Yorkshire outfit's shot-stopper to recover from his quadricep injury before booking his medical and the wait continues.

What Daniel Farke will now hope for after James Trafford signing

Perri lost his place to Karl Darlow in the Premier League at Leeds last season, but he did retain his place in the cup competitions.

During last season's FA Cup run, the Whites made history by reaching the semi-finals for the first time in 39 years.

The Brazilian goalkeeper played an important role in taking the West Yorkshire outfit to Wembley.

Now with Trafford at Farke's disposal, the German manager will surely hope to do better and go on to win the trophy.

The England international started in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup finals for Manchester City and won both, making him a good omen.
