Leeds United are still on the transfer trail in Italy, despite the club's owner Massimo Cellino agreeing to sell his Serie A outfit Cagliari to a group of American investors.

Cellino has been linked throughout the summer with shifting players from Cagliari to Leeds, however the chances of such switches happening had appeared to recede with the takeover saga nearing completion.











But Cagliari sporting director Nicola Salerno revealed earlier this week that he is likely to follow Cellino to Elland Road – and the deal-maker is thought to have a trio of players in mind for his new club.

Those on Salerno's radar for Leeds are Cagliari defender Danilo Avelar, Hellas Verona forward Daniele Cacia and another forward, Pescara's Ferdinando Sforzini, according to Cagliari News 24.

Defender Avelar was linked with Leeds earlier this summer and Salerno appears to believe he still fits the bill at Elland Road.

Cacia meanwhile is a product of Piacenza's youth system and is well-travelled throughout Italian football, his journey even taking in a spell with Fiorentina in 2008. The 30-year-old featured 13 times in Serie A for Verona this term.

Sforzini plies his trade in Serie B with Pescara and clocked up 20 appearances for the club in the second tier this season.

The 29-year-old is a product of Napoli's youth set-up.
