Could Giuseppe Bellusci leave Leeds United permanently in the summer transfer window?

Leeds United manager Thomas Christiansen seems to have suggested to BBC Radio Leeds that Giuseppe Bellusci could be on his way out of Elland Road.

Bellusci spent the 2016-17 campaign on loan at Italian club Empoli and has been linked with moves away from Leeds in the summer transfer window.

According to Tuttomercatoweb.com, Cagliari are interested in signing Bellusci from Leeds in the summer transfer window. Benevento Calcio has been credited with interest in the Italian centre-back as well.

The 27-year-old Italian central defender has returned to pre-season training and has featured in pre-season friendly matches for the Championship club.

Leeds manager Christiansen seems to have suggested that Bellusci will be sold by the West Yorkshire outfit in the summer transfer window.

“Well, I like to give them the opportunity to show themselves,” Christiansen told BBC Radio Leeds when asked if players such as Bellusci will get their chances.

“They have had that until now, and now we will start taking decisions because players will arrive and some players have to leave.”

Bellusci has been given chances in Leeds’s pre-season matches, but maybe the 27-year-old Italian centre-back has not done enough to impress Christiansen.

If the Leeds manager indeed wanted the defender to remain at Elland Road next season, then he could have made that clear when he was asked about him and would have given a direct answer.
