# Lucas Perri chooses Torino over Marseille > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/lucas-perri-transfer-to-torino > Updated: 2026-08-12T00:25:22.000Z. Sources: 12. Developments: 3. Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri has reportedly chosen to join Serie A side Torino over interest from Olympique de Marseille. The move, a season-long loan from Leeds United with an option to buy, had previously faced delays due to a minor finger injury and Perri’s hesitation regarding Marseille’s pursuit of him as a successor to Geronimo Rulli. While Marseille has intensified its efforts to hijack the deal, Perri has indicated a preference for the move to Turin. Leeds United has already moved to secure a replacement by signing James Trafford as their new first-choice goalkeeper. Marseille’s pursuit of Perri is part of a broader, complex summer transfer window for the French club, which is currently navigating financial constraints imposed by DNCG regulations. The club is simultaneously targeting midfield reinforcements, including Santiago Hezze from Olympiakos, and monitoring several other players to bolster its squad. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-12: Olympique de Marseille intensifies summer transfer activity Olympique de Marseille is pursuing several transfer targets, including goalkeeper Lucas Perri, midfielder Santiago Hezze, and striker Jonathan David, while managing financial constraints. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lucas-perri-delays-torino-transfer-amid-marseille-interest ### 2026-08-11: Lucas Perri set to join Torino on loan from Leeds United Goalkeeper Lucas Perri is set to arrive in Turin on Thursday to complete a season-long loan move from Leeds United to Torino. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lucas-perri-set-to-join-torino-on-loan-from-leeds-united ### 2026-08-07: Lucas Perri chooses Torino over Marseille in pending loan from Leeds Lucas Perri opted for Torino over Marseille, with Leeds finalising a loan‑with‑option‑to‑buy despite his minor finger injury delaying the announcement. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lucas-perri-chooses-torino-over-marseille-in-pending-loan-from-leeds --- Cite as: Lucas Perri chooses Torino over Marseille.
