Vasco da Gama initiate contact to sign Leeds United player

Vasco da Gama have made contact with Lucas Perri's representatives to explore a potential move, with the Leeds goalkeeper currently on loan at Torino.

Leeds United goalkeeper Lucas Perri has attracted interest from Brazilian club Vasco da Gama, who have reportedly initiated contact with his representatives ahead of the 2027 transfer window.

The 28-year-old is currently on a season-long loan at Torino, where he has kept his starting place but faced criticism for mistakes. Torino hold an option to buy him for €16m (£13.4m), though it remains unclear whether they will exercise it.

Vasco are assessing several goalkeeping options for their 2027 squad and have added Perri to their shortlist. According to Brazilian outlet SuperVasco, the Rio de Janeiro club approached Perri's entourage to explore the conditions for a potential transfer, though no formal offer to Leeds or negotiations have taken place.

Perri previously played for Botafogo, Vasco's local rivals, before joining Lyon in January 2024 and then Leeds in 2025. Any move to Brazil before the end of the European season would require additional arrangements, as the Brazilian campaign begins early in 2027.
