Lecce have reportedly switched their attentions to Olympique Marseille striker Kostas Mitroglou as they look to bring in an experienced No 9.
Lecce had initially been targeting Burak Yilmaz, but a failure to agree a deal with Besiktas seems to have put the brakes on that move.
Consequently, Tuttomercatoweb writes exclusively that negotiations are now under way to take Mitroglou to the Salentini.
The Greece international is out of favour at Marseille and joined Galatasaray on an 18-month loan in January.

However, he scored just two goals for Gala last season and is set to be replaced at Turk Telecom Arena by Radamel Falcao.
Nonetheless, the 31-year-old enjoyed prolific spells earlier in his career with Olympiacos and Benfica.
