According to a report by Calcio Napoli 24, Vanja Milinkovic-Savic is the subject of interest from Leeds United. The Whites are eager to reinforce their first-team squad by signing a goalkeeper in the summer transfer window. So, the 28-year-old Torino shot-stopper has emerged as a target for the newly promoted Premier League club.
Vanja Milinkovic-Savic has gone from strength to strength since joining Torino from Lechia Gdansk in July 2017. The Ourense native could not establish a foothold in the first-team squad at Manchester United due to work permit issues. So, his short-lived stint with the struggling Premier League giants.
Meanwhile, Milinkovic-Savic did not hit the ground running at Torino, embarking on multiple loan spells before establishing a foothold in the senior setup at the Serie A club. However, the 28-year-old Serbian international has not looked back since returning to Torino from a loan stint with Standard Liege.
The Serb has turned out over 150 times thus far for Torino while keeping 52 clean sheets and conceding 63 goals. Meanwhile, Milinkovic-Savic’s progress at the Serie A club has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. Leeds United will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Leeds United’s interest in Vanja Milinkovic-Savic is understandable. The Whites are scouring the market for a goalkeeper this summer after Illan Meslier’s frustrating performances in the 2024/25 season. So, Leeds United will aim to sign a top-class goalkeeper, with several candidates, including Nick Pope, emerging as targets.
However, Milinkovic-Savic is also a viable target for the newly promoted Premier League club, and they might have a decent chance of landing him. The 28-year-old Serb may feel he has unfinished business in the Premier League after failing to turn out for Manchester United.
Interestingly, recent reports have also linked Milinkovic-Savic with Manchester United. In addition, the Serbian goalkeeper is a target for Leeds United. So, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the in-demand stopper.
