Mario Giuffredi, agent to 21-year-old Empoli left-back Fabiano Parisi, has confirmed interest from Leeds United after the club failed to sign him in the summer transfer window.
Leeds signed left-back Junior Firpo just last season but calls for another player in the position have been building after poor form and fitness, meaning the Whites were looking at Parisi as a replacement.
Having made his Serie A debut this season, Parisi has helped Empoli in five league appearances this season, scoring once and helping his team keep one clean sheet.
