Leeds United looking to sign Juventus forward Moise Kean?

Leeds United are reportedly looking to secure a deal for Juventus forward Moise Kean and are willing to include a buy-back clause in any agreement.

Leeds United have reportedly identified Juventus forward Moise Kean as a potential summer signing.

With Marcelo Bielsa having taken charge at Elland Road, Leeds are looking to put together a squad capable of challenging for promotion to the Premier League and it appears that one of the top prospects in European football is on their radar.

According to Calciomercato, Leeds are willing to sign 18-year-old Kean on a permanent basis and include a buy-back clause in the attacker's contract.

Kean does not turn 19 until February, but he has already made 12 starts and 10 substitute appearances in Serie A with Juve and during a loan spell with Hellas Verona.

The report has suggested that Juventus would welcome the opportunity to do business due to the big-money arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, who has ended his nine-year spell with Real Madrid to move to Turin.

However, the club are said to still regard Kean as one for the future and would only entertain a permanent deal providing that they have the opportunity to re-sign the frontman in the future.
