How Michele Di Gregorio can now replace Lucas Perri at Leeds United after agent's meltdown
Michele Di Gregorio could be on his way to Leeds United from Juventus this transfer window.
The Italy international seems to have no future at the Allianz Stadium, with the Whites being linked as his next possible destination.
Daniel Farke is looking to bolster his goalkeeping department in LS11 and the 28-year-old shot-stopper has emerged as a target.
Di Gregorio could be part of a transfer domino at Elland Road, with Lucas Perri angling for a move.
The Brazilian goalkeeper is coming off a disappointing season at the West Yorkshire outfit and it isn't surprising to see him push for an exit.
With Karl Darlow leaving the Peacocks, the German manager is in desperate need of reinforcements in between the sticks, and the Juventus player is one of the options available.
Why Juventus are keeping eye on Leeds goalkeeper Lucas Perri
MOT Leeds News has extensively covered Torino's interest in Perri.
The Italian club's management are expected to meet the Elland Road hierarchy in the coming days to negotiate a deal for the former Olympique Lyon star.
According to Tutto Juve on 19 July, Juventus are keeping a close eye on Perri's situation in LS11.
The 28-year-old Brazilian's departure could open the door for Di Gregorio to join the West Yorkshire outfit.
Carlo Alberto Belloni, the Italy international's agent, recently hit out at the Bianconeri for blaming their failures last season on their client.
The Serie A giants are now unlikely to keep hold of Di Gregorio after the falling out.
Would Michele Di Gregorio be an upgrade over Lucas Perri?
Farke dropped Perri from the Leeds starting lineup after some high-profile goalkeeping errors in the Premier League.
The Brazil national subsequently became the number one in the cup competitions, where he put in some decent performances, while Darlow was entrusted in the league.
Di Gregorio also faced plenty of criticism at Juventus after making consistent mistakes, but he would still arguably be an upgrade over Perri.
According to Sofascore, the Whites' shot-stopper had a goals-prevented score of minus 2.2 in 16 league appearances, while the Italian keeper recorded a score of 0.6 after 25 matches.
It's now up to the Peacocks to decide whether they want to replace Perri with Di Gregorio ahead of next season.
