Leeds United are actively seeking to bolster their goalkeeping options, with Lyon’s Lucas Perri emerging as a key target on their shortlist, according to Beren Cross. The 27-year-old Brazilian, who was Lyon’s first-choice goalkeeper last season, is one of several names under consideration as the Whites aim to strengthen their squad ahead of the new campaign.
No formal bids or negotiations have been initiated yet, but Leeds are keeping a close eye on Perri’s situation. Lyon’s uncertain league status for the 2025/26 season adds complexity to the potential transfer, with the French club’s future still in limbo. This uncertainty could play a pivotal role in Leeds’ pursuit, as they monitor developments across the Channel.

Perri, known for his agility and commanding presence, made 33 appearances for Lyon in Ligue 1 last season, earning praise for his shot-stopping ability and distribution. His experience in a competitive European league makes him an attractive prospect for Leeds, who are looking to solidify their defensive unit under Daniel Farke.
While Perri is a priority, Leeds are also exploring other goalkeeping options, ensuring they have a robust shortlist to address this key position. With no talks underway, the club’s next steps will likely depend on Lyon’s resolution of their league status and any subsequent transfer window opportunities.
