July 7th, the English champion team Leeds United took new moves in the transfer market, and set their sights on Turin goalkeeper Vanya, and had already started contact with Turin to start transfer negotiations about Vanya.

Vania, 28, is experienced in the goalkeeper position. His contract with Turin is only one year left and will expire next summer. This situation makes his future full of uncertainty and prompts Leeds United to take decisive action. In the English Championship this season, Leeds United goalkeeper Elan Meslier performed ups and downs, making mistakes in many key games, causing the team to lose points, which made Leeds United urgently need to introduce a reliable goalkeeper to improve the stability of the defense line.

Vania showed excellent goal line skills and reaction speed during her time in Turin, and made wonderful saves many times in the Serie A arena. According to Opta statistics, he completed 12 clean sheets in Serie A last season, with a save success rate of up to 78%. His performance of saving a penalty against Juventus was even named one of the "best goalkeeper performances of the season". Such strength has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many clubs. Naples has always favored him and proposed to introduce him in installments to pay 19.5 million euros in termination fee, but was rejected by Turin.

For Leeds United, if they can successfully sign Vania, it will undoubtedly be an extremely cost-effective signing. On the one hand, the team can rely on Vania's strength to stabilize the defense and add guarantees to the qualification to compete for the Premier League next season; on the other hand, as Vania's contract is about to expire, Leeds United is expected to reach a deal with a relatively low transfer fee. At present, Leeds United is actively communicating with Turin, trying to reach an agreement on transfer fees and other details, and fans are eagerly looking forward to the potential transfer being settled.
