Leeds United goalkeeper Lucas Perri is heading to Torino on loan with an option to buy, which surely means Michael Zetterer is imminent. Daniel Farke will surely be happy with how his starting lineup has been reinforced this summer with the first four signings all showing their quality so far. But, depth remains a concern in key positions, including in the backup slot beyind James Trafford in goal. Leeds United sanction Torino loan for Lucas Perri – Buy option included: Fabrizio Romano Leeds fans are feeling much more confident in our ability to keep clean sheets this season due to Trafford’s presence. From two games, we’re yet to concede and it’s down to the club-record signing. Watching from the bench was last summer’s signing Lucas Perri. While he’s been recovering from injury, it’s felt very likely that he’d be out of the door, namely to Torino. Now, Fabrizio Romano has reported that the Brazilian has been given the green light from Leeds to make his way to Turin. He is now due to complete a medical with the Serie A club ahead of a loan move. The deal also includes an option to buy. Lucas Perri exit surely means imminent Leeds United deal to sign Michael Zetterer Leeds can’t go into the rest of the season with Trafford and Alex Cairns as the only two senior ‘keepers. So, it stands to reason that Leeds have finally sanctioned Perri’s Torino loan because there’s been a breakthrough on the incoming front. In particular, Leeds have been in pursuit of Eintracht Frankfurt’s Michael Zetterer this month. And, another domino that the 49ers needed to fall into place was the German club replacing the 31-year-old, which they’ve also agreed to do today. Eintracht are signing Freiburg’s Noah Atubolu on loan. Therefore, this paves the way for Leeds to complete the transfer trifecta by signing Zetterer. With Perri leaving and Eintracht replacing Zetterer, that surely means a deal for the German to join Farke’s squad is imminent.
