Gaetano Berardi: Leeds defender ‘quite keen’ to return to Italy

Marcelo Bielsa showered heaps of praise on Leeds United defender Gaetano Berardi after the Whites won 2-0 against Huddersfield Town in their last Championship game at Elland Road.

The Argentine boss praised Berardi for his recent performances and claimed that he has been ‘one of the best’ for Leeds in his recent matches.

The 31-year-old has managed only 11 starts in the Championship this season, and has only a few months left in his contract at Leeds.

According to Phil Hay of the Athletic, Bielsa ‘would like him to stick around next season’ but there have been no contact with the player over an extension.
