Serie A new boys Lecce are close to a double deal with Sassuolo for Khouma Babacar and Cristian Dell’Orco.
According to Sportitalia, negotiations over former Fiorentina striker Babacar developed to include his teammate in defence too.
Senegal international Babacar would arrive on loan with option to buy, but become an obligation to purchase if Lecce manage to avoid relegation.
Their first choice for the attack had been Burak Yilmaz, but Besiktas transfer demands are forcing them to look elsewhere.

He still scored seven goals with two assists in 29 Serie A appearances.
