Leeds United Targets Juventus Defender
Juventus is considering selling the English defender Lloyd Kelly during the summer transfer window, amid interest from Leeds United and several Spanish clubs in signing him after a fluctuating season with the Italian team.
The "Football Italia" website reported that Kelly joined Juventus in February 2025 from Newcastle United for 21 million euros, with add-ons that could reach 6.5 million euros, but he delivered inconsistent performances and faced criticism from some analysts.
The English defender participated in 46 matches across various competitions last season, during which he scored two goals and provided two assists, while his contract with Juventus extends until June 2029.
The "Football Italia" website, citing "Tutto Mercato Web", added that Leeds United has made a serious offer to bring Kelly back to English football, with interest also from other clubs in the English Premier League and the Spanish league.
The report indicated that Leeds United is the most serious contender so far in the race to sign the player, despite previous reports suggesting a possible return to Newcastle United.
Juventus has set Lloyd Kelly's sale price at approximately 30 million euros, which the club aims to recover by completing the deal during the current summer transfer market.
