Headline: Torino Finalizes Loan Deal for Lucas Perri and Sells Marcus Pedersen to Olympiacos
Torino has successfully secured Lucas Perri from Leeds United on a loan deal worth €1 million, which includes an option to buy for €14 million. At the same time, Marcus Pedersen is set to join Olympiacos in a deal valued at €8 million.
The negotiations for Perri had extended over several months, with both clubs reaching a basic agreement as early as July. However, Leeds delayed allowing Perri to leave until they confirmed that his replacement was firmly arranged.
Haggling regarding the specifics of the transfer further postponed the deal, yet multiple sources, including Sky Sport Italia and Tuttomercatoweb, now report that he is ready to depart. Perri is expected to arrive in Italy on Friday to undergo medical examinations and finalize the contract.
This arrangement marks a one-season loan for €1 million, with a potential permanent transfer at the end of the season for an additional €14 million.
In parallel developments, Torino has reportedly sanctioned the sale of full-back Marcus Pedersen to Olympiacos for a fixed fee of €6 million, which could increase by another €2 million based on add-on clauses. The 26-year-old left-back is scheduled to travel tonight to complete his medical tests on Friday.
Pedersen joined Torino from Feyenoord in 2024, initially arriving on loan for €1 million before the club signed him outright for €3.6 million last summer.
Torino have finally secured Lucas Perri from Leeds United on loan for €1m with option to buy for €14m, but Marcus Pedersen is heading to Olympiacos for a total €8m.
The deal for Perri seems to have dragged on for months, as the clubs had a basic agreement in place as far back as July.
