Leeds United face the prospect of Lucas Perri leaving the club this summer, with Serie A side Torino reportedly lining up a loan move for the Brazilian keeper after just three Premier League appearances in 2026.

Why is Perri’s future uncertain?

Perri arrived from Lyon for £15.6 million on a four‑year contract in July 2023 and started the first three league games. An arm injury saw him drop out, but manager Daniel Farke still hinted at regular use. By November, his agent praised his progress, yet the 2026 season has seen him feature only three times, relegated to a backup role behind the first‑choice shot‑stopper.

What does Torino want?

Italian club Torino, chasing a new goalkeeper, have already pursued Paraguay’s Orlando Gill without success. Their sporting director now lists Perri as an alternative, alongside Aaron Ramsdale, who spent last season on loan at Newcastle United from Southampton. Torino’s interest was confirmed by Gianluca Di Marzio, who said the Brazilian is on their shortlist.

How risky would a move be?

A switch to Torino carries risk. Owner Urbano Cairo’s tenure has been marked by fan protests and a reputation for limited investment. Analysts expect any Leeds offer to be modest – likely a loan with an option to buy rather than a full sale. Should Leeds retain Perri, the club could still explore offers from clubs with stronger financial backing.

What are the implications for Leeds United?

If Perri departs, Leeds will need to address the goalkeeper vacancy before the next season begins. The club could promote a youth prospect, secure a free‑transfer signing, or negotiate a better deal elsewhere. Conversely, keeping him might mean paying wages for a player unlikely to feature, affecting the squad’s wage structure.

What’s next for the transfer saga?

Torino are expected to submit a formal proposal in the coming weeks. Leeds United’s hierarchy will weigh the financial terms against the sporting need for a reliable backup keeper. Fans will watch closely, hoping the club avoids another costly mis‑fire in the transfer market.
