Leeds United targets Parma defender Mariano Troilo
Summary

Leeds United is prioritizing a defensive signing this summer following the departure of Pascal Struijk. The club is interested in Mariano Troilo, a centre-half from Parma, who demonstrated strong performances in Serie A, helping the side to five clean sheets in 21 appearances. Troilo, known for his aerial skills and technical abilities, fits Leeds' profile for young talent with potential resale value. The club is also considering other defensive options, including Ousmane Diomande and Tarik Muharemovic. If Leeds cannot secure Muharemovic, they plan to focus on Troilo as a key target.
