AC Milan and Inter Milan are lining up a January move for Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier as a shock transfer battle brews in Italy.
The French stopper has slipped down the pecking order at Elland Road and could be set for a dramatic exit.
According to Football Insider, both Milan clubs have registered interest in Meslier with his Leeds contract running out next summer.
The 25-year-old’s situation has alerted Europe’s elite, with Serie A heavyweights hunting value in the keeper market.
Meslier is now third choice under Daniel Farke and has not featured since Leeds’ Premier League return. That has fuelled speculation a January deal could be struck.
With doubts over the futures of Mike Maignan and Yann Sommer, the Milan rivals see Meslier as a smart, low-risk option.
A January escape route could suit all sides as Leeds look ahead.
