Serie B new boys Pisa are continuing to work on a deal to sign Leeds United defender Giuseppe Bellusci, according to claims in Italy. The Italian side joined the race to sign Bellusci earlier this month, but a deal could be complicated.
Il Tirreno have today reported Pisa are looking to strengthen their squad this summer after their promotion from Lega Pro to Serie B. A number of players have been linked with Pisa, including options to bolster in defence, and Bellusci is a strong candidate at the Tuscan club.
Ascoli would be a desired move for Bellusci after he came through their youth system, although a chance to play in Serie A could be tempting
The 26-year-old had his problems last season, and has recently been linked with a move back to his home country. Yesterday it was revealed the player didn’t return to pre-season training with Leeds United because he needed to remain in Italy for family reasons.
