"Leeds United are attempting to sign Brazilian midfielder Adryan from Cagliari and the player's agent has given an update on negotiations.  &amp;nbsp; #476067573 / gettyimages.com  Leeds are closing in on the signature of Brazilian 19-year-old Adryan, but a deal is not yet complete. Adryan has been linked to Manchester United in the past, but he currently plays for Serie A side Cagliari, hence Massimo Cellino's desire to bring him in. Cellino has admitted that Leeds are trying to finalise a deal after Cagliari's new coach&amp;nbsp;Zdenek Zeman made it clear that Adryan doesn't have a first-team place for the coming season. The agent of the former Brazil Under-17 star has confirmed that talks are underway, but there still seems to be some distance to cover before a deal can be completed. \"We are talking to the club, but we haven't signed anything yet,\"&amp;nbsp;Reinaldo Pitta told Isola 24 Sport. \"The lad isn't in England at the moment, but that's not to say that he won't be coming in the next few days.
