Per journalist Ciro Venerato via CalcioNapoli24, Leeds have entered the race to sign goalkeeper Milinkovic-Savic from Torino this summer. The stopper is also wanted by the club's Serie A rivals Napoli, and Manchester United were credited with an interest earlier this summer, as they continue to hunt for a replacement for Andre Onana.

Milinkovic-Savic is a Serbia international with 19 caps, and has a release clause worth €21m for foreign clubs, and €19m (£16m/$22m) for clubs in Serie A. Daniel Farke's side are said to have made an enquiry as they attempt to gauge the possibility of a deal, ahead of their return to Premier League football.
DID YOU KNOW?
Milinkovic-Savic may have fallen off of the Red Devils' radar somewhat, as they have instead been linked with Botafogo goalkeeper John in recent weeks. That may give Leeds an advantage, but it could be a disappointment to the Serbia star, as he was on the books at Old Trafford as a youngster, although he never played for the first-team.
