Sky Sport’s Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Leeds are becoming increasingly confident of securing a deal to sign James Trafford from Manchester City, which will pave the way for Perri’s move to the Stadio Grande Torino.
Romano reports that the “final details are being sorted” between Torino and Leeds United.
Perri, 28, has played for Crystal Palace, Olympique Lyon and Leeds in Europe. He joined Leeds a year ago from Lyon in a €16m deal.
