Leeds United transfer rumours as AS Roma 'plot Weston McKennie swoop'

A look at the latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Tuesday, 27 June.

AS Roma targeting Leeds United loanee

Jose Mourinho and company's plan to improve on their sixth-place Serie A finish next season appears to be raiding Leeds United's relegated squad. Diego Llorente looks set to rejoin the Italian side following his loan move last season, but hot on the heels of links to Rasmus Kristensen is a report that says former Whites loan man Weston McKennie is now being targeted.

Corriere dello Sport ( via Calciomercato.com ) claim that Roma sporting director Tiago Pinto has reached out to McKennie's representatives following his return to Juventus. The American is also reportedly a target for Aston Villa after his spell at Elland Road.

McKennie made 20 appearances in all competitions at Leeds last year after arriving from Juventus in January.

Fiorentina keeping tabs on Whites' trio

According to Italian publication La Nazione, Fiorentina see Leeds United trio Illan Meslier, Wilfried Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra as potential 'low cost' transfer options following the Whites' relegation from the Premier League.

However, the report claims those Leeds players are still likely to command a much higher price than other alternatives this summer.

Meslier has been linked with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Manchester United, while Gnonto is reportedly a target for a number of high-profile Italian clubs.

Sinisterra has also been tentatively linked with a move away from Elland Road and is set for a pay cut following relegation from the top flight.
