Leeds United have made early soundings about bringing Carlos Corberan back to Elland Road.
The West Bromwich Albion boss is understood to have a release clause of around £2million and is emerging as a contender to take over from Sam Allardyce.
Leeds have been in discussions over the past few days assessing the steps necessary to put the club back on track following relegation from the Premier League.
The terms of the proposed takeover by 49ers Enterprises are being revised, while owner Andrea Radrizzani has bought Italian club Sampdoria with business partners.
