According to Il Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus contacted Leeds recently to attempt to intervene in a transfer for Lucas Perri from their cross-city rivals, Torino. The report states Juventus have taken action to sign Perri as a back-up to Vicario and hope to secure his signature ahead of their rivals in a deal that is likely to be similar to the terms offered by Torino. The transfer could depend on Perri’s personal preference of either joining Torino as their likely first choice or playing as a back-up to Vicario at Juventus. Leeds will not prevent the player from leaving.
