Massimo Cellino signed Tommaso Bianchi for Leeds in 2014. Now he wants him again.

Leeds owner Massimo Cellino watches on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Leeds United and Middlesbrough at Elland Road on August 16, 2014 in Leeds, England.

Three years ago Massimo Cellino made Tommaso Bianchi one of his first signings at Leeds United.

Now according to Tuttomercatoweb, he is seeking to bring him to new club Brescia.

Cellino took over a 61 per cent stake in Brescia earlier in August and is busy attempting to sign new players.

Bianchi is also wanted by Brescia’s Serie B competitors Venezia.

Leeds sold Bianchi last summer to Ascoli after he fell out of favour during an eventful couple of seasons at Elland Road.

He played regularly in his first season, featuring under three different managers, before suffering a knee injury in his second year and then being loaned out to Ascoli.

The midfielder played 24 Championship games for Leeds, providing one assist.

Last season he made 29 appearances for Ascoli, scoring once.

Bianchi, 28, is a former Italy under-21 international and while his time at Elland Road has been quickly forgotten, Massimo Cellino still evidently holds him in him enough regard to sanction another move for his services.
