Why Lucas Perri transfer delay could continue with new eleventh-hour bid

Lucas Perri continues to be in the headlines without any transfer resolution at Leeds United.

Torino have been heavily linked with a move for the Brazilian goalkeeper for several weeks, but a deal hasn't materialised so far.

As a result, the Serie A club have left themselves open to missing out on the 28-year-old shot-stopper in the final days of the transfer window.

Juventus have entered the race for Perri as they attempt to hijack Torino's deal at Elland Road.

The Champions League winners have already signed Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham Hotspur, but now also want the former Olympique Lyon ace.

With such a massive club looking to make a move for the Brazilian ace, it remains to be seen how his situation will develop.

What Juventus have done to sign Lucas Perri from Leeds United

Olympique Marseille's interest in Perri threatened Torino's hopes of signing him.

But it doesn't look like the Ligue 1 side will sign the goalkeeper, who was recently spotted in Pavone Canavese, an area in Turin.

The Brazilian shot-stopper looks set for a move to Il Toro, but Juventus now want him as Vicario's backup, according to Gazzetta dello Sport's print edition on 22 August.

To that end, the Bianconeri have already begun sounding out Perri over a possible move to the Allianz Stadium.

The Serie A giants would preferably like to get the ex-Lyon goalkeeper on loan from the West Yorkshire outfit.

What's clear is that Perri doesn't seem to have a future at Elland Road after falling out of favour under Daniel Farke, but Juventus' arrival has thrown a late curveball, which will likely only delay his departure from LS11.

What Daniel Farke may end up doing at Elland Road

Juventus apparently want to sign Perri as their new number two, which means he likely won't be guaranteed minutes under Luciano Spalletti.

The Whites have been left with few options in between the sticks after Karl Darlow and Illan Meslier's departures.

While James Trafford appears to be the West Yorkshire outfit's new number one, they are looking for a backup option, with Perri on his way out.

The Brazilian goalkeeper did well in the cup competitions last season and Farke certainly wouldn't mind keeping him on as the number two.

Perri's continuity at Elland Road shouldn't be ruled out as uncertainty remains over his future after the drama that has unfolded.
