Torino have officially signed goalkeeper Lucas Perri from Leeds United, on loan with option to buy for €16m, while they sold Marcus Pedersen to Olympiacos.
The two deals were struck while the team was on the field in this evening’s 2-1 Serie A defeat to Sassuolo.

An agreement had been reached for Perri several weeks ago, but the move had been delayed while Leeds United tried to find a suitable replacement.
When that situation dragged on, Toro lost patience and demanded that Perri be released for his medical tests, which happened earlier this week.
The 28-year-old goalkeeper put pen to paper on the contract, a loan for €1m with option to buy believed to be set at circa €14-15m.
The Brazilian has also played for Sao Paulo, Crystal Palace and Olympique Lyonnais, when he was sold to Leeds last summer for €16m.

Meanwhile, Olympiacos announced this evening that they have purchased Pedersen and that deal is reported to be worth €6m with up to another €2m in performance-related bonuses.
It allows Torino to turn a profit, having bought him from Feyenoord in 2024 for a total €4.6m fee.
