Leeds United have shown ‘concrete interest’ in former Newcastle and Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly.
That’s according to journalist Marco Conterio who claims the centre back could leave Juventus this summer – after just one season.
He claims Kelly has interest in both Spain and the Premier League, Kelly has also been linked with Aston Villa with Tutto Juve claiming he is one of Unai Emery’s ‘main targets’.
Kelly came through at Bristol City before joining the Cherries for a reported £13million in 2019. He spent five seasons at the Vitality Stadium but left for Newcastle on a free transfer after 141 games.

The former England Under-21 spent just seven months at St James’ Park before being loaned – and then sold – to Juve in February 2025.
Kelly played 46 times for Juve in both Serie A and the Champions League and has a contract until the summer of 2029. It has been reported the Turin outfit value him at €35m.
Conterio points out that Juve do not need to sell players before the end of football’s financial year on June 30 but says they are trying to gauge the market.
Leeds are highly likely to be in that market for centre backs – and that was before links with Pascal Struijk and Premier League rivals Brighton.
