# Leeds: Barry Douglas could seal Brescia move

**Leeds United defender Barry Douglas could be set to join former Whites owner Massimo Cellino at Brescia, according to a fresh transfer report.**

### The Lowdown: Douglas set to leave Leeds

The 31-year-old spent last season on loan at Championship side Blackburn Rovers, [making 30 appearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/42637/Show/Barry-Douglas) in the division and registering two assists.

Despite Leeds potentially being [light on left-backs](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leeds-united/kadernachposition/verein/399) amid the [projected exit](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-transfer-rumours/leeds-danny-mills-claims-ezgjan-alioski-has-three-offers-on-the-table/) of Ezgjan Alioski, Douglas will leave Elland Road when his contract [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/barry-douglas/profil/spieler/91854) at the end of this month.

### The Latest: Link-up with Cellino rumoured

According to [BresciaOggi](https://www.bresciaoggi.it/argomenti/sport/brescia-calcio/il-brescia-all-attacco-bajic-per-nuovi-gol-1.8756738?refresh_ce) and [Pianeta Serie B](https://www.pianetaserieb.it/calciomercato/calciomercato-brescia-douglas/) \[via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/great-secrecy-massimo-cellino-sign-free-agent-leeds-united-contract-comes-end/)\], the Scot could join Brescia this summer, with negotiations being done in ‘great secrecy’.

It would see Douglas link up with former Leeds villain [Cellino](https://sportwitness.co.uk/great-secrecy-massimo-cellino-sign-free-agent-leeds-united-contract-comes-end/), who proved to be a rather [unpopular](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11715/10168779/leeds-fans-project-cellino-out-image-on-elland-road) owner during his time at Elland Road.

### The Verdict: Interesting next step

It makes perfect sense for Douglas to move on this summer, with Leeds going up a gear as a club and the 31-year-old seemingly no longer at the club’s level.

He should be remembered as a solid servant during the Whites’ stint in the second tier, though, [playing 27 times](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/42637/History/Barry-Douglas) in the Championship back in 2018/19 and also [featuring intermittently](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/42637/History/Barry-Douglas) as they won promotion the following year.

While Serie A feels like it could be too strong for him now, a move to Serie B makes more sense and represents an intriguing choice for the [£13,000-per-week](https://salarysport.com/football/player/barry-douglas/) defender. What Leeds fans will make of him possibly teaming up with Cellino is another debate.
