The Italian side wants around £31million for the Argentine player however they may be forced to drop their valuation to get a buyer.
Meanwhile, Patrick Bamford says there is more room for improvement by Leeds after they claimed their first Premier League win of the season when they beat Fulham.
Bamford scored Leeds' fourth goal of the game before they were pegged back to 4-3 and he feels it will take around five matches for the team to get settled into the league.

“Last weekend was a free hit, we were playing the best team in the country and we showed a good side of ourselves, there were positives and negatives,” said Bamford.
“Today was a crucial match against another team which came up last year and we wanted to win, but that was a little bit too close in the end!
“I think there will be a few long meetings this week just to pick up on what we can do better, but we won and that is the main thing.
“We only had two pre-season games, so I don’t think everyone is up to full speed yet.
“I think give it five matches, we will be in the flow of it and more settled, hopefully it is something we adjust to and we are a fit team as you can see.
“Moments change games and Fulham’s second goal caught us off guard and the third one wasn’t long after.
“I think that made us panic a little bit and obviously we managed in the end to see it out.
“Watching the end from the side-lines was horrible though, it wasn’t a nice watch when I came off."
