Leeds United are competing with Spartak Moscow for Torino midfielder Sasa Lukic, according to TMW.
It has been reported by the Italian news outlet that Torino head coach Ivan Juric considers the 24-year-old midfielder ‘unsellable’.
However, contacts are expected to be made this week, and there will be talks regarding a possible sale.
In-demand
Leeds and Spartak are not the first clubs to show interest in Lukic this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace have been linked with the 24-year-old Serbia international as well.
SkySport journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported in June that Palace had made a bid for Lukic.
Tutto Mercato Web reported in March interest from Tottenham in the Serbia international.
We covered the report here on HITC Sport.
Would Sasa Lukic make Leeds better?
Interest from Tottenham and Palace shows just how highly rated Lukic is, and at the right price, he would be a good signing for Leeds, not just for now, but for the long term as well.
The Serbian is a central midfielder who can hold his own in the middle of the park and would be a good addition to Marcelo Bielsa’s team.
Kalvin Phillips is one of the best in his position in the Premier League, but Leeds need cover and competition in defensive midfield.
Lukic can play in a defensive role and can also push forward from midfield.
The Torino star can also score goals.
The Serbian found the back of the net thrice in Serie A last season.
