Leeds United president Massimo Cellino is set for a crunch meeting with the agent of Brazil Under-20 international Adryan.
Cellino is working hard to take Adryan to Elland Road, but has privately conceded doing a deal for the attacking midfielder is a complicated matter.
The Leeds owner, along with director of football Nicola Salerno, put in place the agreement which took Adryan from Flamengo to Cagliari earlier this year.
Now they are trying to pick their former club's pocket and take the playmaker to England.
According to Sky Italia, Adryan's agent is due to fly into England today, where he will then head to a meeting with Cellino.

Adryan is keen to move to England to reunite with Cellino, however an agreement must please all parties, including Flamengo, from whom the Brazilian is on loan, and is less than certain.
The starlet has been on the wanted lists at both AC Milan and Manchester United in recent years, and Cagliari considered bagging his services to be a coup.
Now Cellino wants to repeat the trick for Leeds.
