Leeds United have been given renewed hope of bringing in Nicola Salerno after Palermo appointed Daniele Faggiano as their new sporting director in the past couple of days.The Championship club had been linked with Salerno in the past week.
Palermo president Mauro Zamparini was keen to install Salerno as his sporting director, but other Palermo leaders wanted Faggiano. Zamparini tried to bring in Salerno before he joined Leeds United in 2014, and has always been keen to appoint the former Watford man
Last month there were reports in Italy claiming Salerno and Cellino had held talks with regards to a surprise return to Leeds United. The pair have a close relationship going back to their time at Cagliari.
