Kelly targeted by Leeds United after Juventus struggle | OneFootball

Juventus are looking to sell Lloyd Kelly this summer, claim Italian reports, with interest from Leeds United and some Spanish clubs after struggling since leaving Newcastle United.

The defender has had frankly a mixed experience since the massive transfer from Newcastle United in February 2025 for €21m plus up to a further potential €6.5m in add-ons.

He had some bright flashes, but was also referred to as one of the biggest flops in Bianconeri transfer history by critics.

Kelly made 46 appearances this season in all competition, contributing two goals and two assists, and his contract in Turin runs to June 2029.

According to Tuttomercatoweb pundit Marco Conterio, there has been a concrete approach from Leeds United to give Kelly a return to English football.

There is also interest from other Premier League sides, as well as ones in LaLiga, but Leeds are currently the most determined to get a deal over the line.

It comes after rumours last week that Newcastle United could even want a reunion thanks to manager Eddie Howe.

The asking price for Kelly would be in the region of €30m, allowing Juve to make their money back.
