Indeed, this revelation had some of the Leeds fans sharing some concern as they did not want to see Berardi leave the club anytime soon, despite his current contract situation suggesting a departure in the summer could well be on the cards with it expiring in a few months (as per TransferMarkt).
Supporters from the Whites’ faithful mentioned how he will go down as a cult hero, with many of them wishing him well for the future should he leave the Yorkshire outfit for Italy, although one fan admitted he would be ‘gutted’ if the 31-year-old were to make his exit.
Here are what just some of the Leeds faithful had to say…
I like Berardi and he has controlled his discipline this season and been dependable but will always be a live wire. He’s getting on as well (32 in August) so best for all both club and player if he’s aloud to leave when season finishes. Good luck to him.

If we go up I think it would be the perfect ending for him and wouldn’t be suprised if he went back to Italy knowing it was job done
