Leeds United's Italian striker Mirco Antenucci is reportedly wanted by Parma this summer.

Italian side Parma have reportedly taken the lead in the race to sign Mirco Antenucci from Leeds United this summer.

Antenucci, 31, looks set to leave Elland Road this summer with his contract expiring and no new deal on the table.

According to the Yorkshire Post, a number of Italian sides are keen on bringing the striker back to his homeland and Parma, recently promoted to the third division, are among those keen.

Antenucci has scored 19 league goals in 74 appearances for Leeds since joining the Whites from Ternana in 2014.
