Leeds among sides eyeing 2016 European Championship winner Joao Mario according to reports.

Leeds United are among six sides reportedly interested in signing Inter Milan midfielder Joao Mario.

The 27-year-old has made 69 appearances for the Italian giants since joining from Sporting Lisbon in a 40 million euro deal in 2016. However, having spent time on loan with West Ham United and Lokomotiv Moscow in recent seasons, Mario has fallen out of favour at the San Siro and is expected to be moved on during the transfer window.

West Ham, for whom Mario made 13 appearances while on loan in 2018, are said to be interested in bringing the midfielder back to the Premier League, along with Newcastle United.

Meanwhile, Spanish outfits Real Betis and Valencia, along with Turkish side Galatasaray, are also eyeing the midfielder, who is valued at £11.7 million by Transfermarkt

Mario made 21 appearances for Lokomotiv Moscow during his loan spell in Russia last season, scoring once and assisting six times.

He is likely open to a move away from Italy, having expressed anger over his treatment at Inter Milan earlier this year.

There are mixed opinions among West Ham fans as to whether they would take the midfielder back at the London Stadium.
