Leeds United defender is reportedly wanted by Brescia.
Leeds United defender Gaetano Berardi is being lined up for a transfer to Serie A side Brescia.
Brescia Oggi report Berardi is on the club’s shortlist after their promotion to the top flight.
The man pulling the strings is Brescia owner Massimo Cellino, who signed Berardi for Leeds in the first place in 2014.
The Swiss defender joined Leeds from Sampdoria after two seasons for the club.
Prior to that he played for Brescia, making more than 100 appearances.
Rejoining Brescia then could appeal for Berardi, whatever his thoughts on working under Cellino for a second time.
Berardi has been a fan favourite at Leeds in his time at the club, but his red card in the play-off semi-final has cast doubt on his future at the club.
He has now been sent off seven times for Leeds, and his latest moment of ill discipline may persuade the club to consider moving on.
