Leeds United have been busy on the transfer front in recent weeks as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of their Premier League return.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lukas Nmecha, Jaka Bijol,, Sebastiaan Bornauw and Gabrile Gudmundsson have all joined Leeds<\/a>\u00a0in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Other players are in their sights, such as Newcastle United\u2019s Sean Longstaff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leeds<\/a> are also in pursuit of a goalkeeper, with Illan Meslier facing an uncertain future at Elland Road after being dropped late last season.<\/p>\n

However, one goalkeeper Leeds have been monitoring is now closing in on a move to Serie A, according to Fabrizio Romano.<\/p>\n

Who Leeds may target in goal instead of Daniel Peretz<\/p>\n

Leeds may be set to fall short in their pursuit of Peretz, but there are numerous goalkeepers on their radar.<\/p>\n

Lyon\u2019s Lucas Perri and Torino\u2019s Vanja Milinkovic-Savic are among the names on Leeds\u2019 radar, according to Sky Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leeds were previously keen on Nick Pope, but that lead is no longer as strong as the keeper wants to stay at Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Leeds are currently prioritising outfield players as a goalkeeper would not need as much time to settle in to Daniel Farke\u2019s system, added the report.<\/p>\n
