With the preseason approaching, Leeds United reportedly spoke to sign the much-needed Iranian Messlier upgrade that could still arrive in a cut price deal.
If Daniel Fark didn’t drop Messley at the end of last season, Leeds could have been forced to win promotions through the playoffs rather than an impressive title victory courtesy. As Sheffield United found the hard way, there is no guarantee in the playoffs and Messlier’s verdict may seem harsh, but the French have proven to be too expensive on Elland Road.

White people can make a surprising deal…
In fact, according to Planet Football, the 25-year-old had already sacrificed 10 points to Whites by the time he arrived last season, which forced Daniel Fark to drop No. 1 in favor of the experienced Carlderlow. From that point on, Leeds marched towards a compelling promotion. But Darrow certainly isn’t the permanent solution for a 34 year old.
Instead, the 49ers must invest in the new No. 1. In particular, reports suggesting that they may be trying to acquire a struggling Mesurier courtesy of Fenerbafe, should invest.
After dropping Messley last season, Fark told reporters. “Obviously he was involved in both (Swansea) goals in the final game. That was a shame as he was on his way to become the guy in the match after a penalty save.
“So it was clear that we had to make a decision, and that position requires players to be clear and Karl (Darrow) needs time to prepare.”
Now, as the German manager prepares to take his team to the Premier League, he finally has the opportunity to welcome the French instant upgrade.
Leeds holds consultations to sign Lucas Peri
According to the Guardian, Leeds is currently holding consultations to sign Lucas Peri. French clubs will likely stop in League 2 if they fail to appeal financial sanctions, which will likely result in the departure of star players below their ratings.
Potentially of them, Peri is the perfect solution for Leeds goalkeeper problems. After arriving in January 2024, the Brazilian quickly scored an Anthony Lopez’s starting point, and did not look back. Now, 18 months later, he was able to pass the same fate on Elland Road.
League statistics 24/25 (via FBREF) | Lucas Perri | Evening Messerie |
---|---|---|
start | 33 | 39 |
Stored about 90 | 3.52 | 1.62 |
Save percentage | 74.4% | 72.7% |
Errors leading to shots | 1 | 3 |
Called “outstanding” by South American football expert Nathan Joyes, Perri has definitively announced that he outperformed Meslier in many regions last season, and that he has seen significant errors.
At bargain prices, the shot stopper will be an excellent addition to Fark’s side to hand over the trustworthy No. 1 he desperately needed.
