Agent: Dacourt will leave Leeds in January

The agent of Leeds United midfielder Olivier Dacourt expects the French international to leave Elland Road in January.

Bruno Satin told the Daily Mail, "I met with Leeds and they guaranteed that Olivier could leave the club in January."

"I am now waiting to hear from the clubs who enquired about him, such as Juventus and Roma."

Dacourt is expected to fetch a transfer fee of around £8 million for hard-up Leeds.

While most interest is coming from Italy, Real Madrid have also been monitoring Dacourt's situation as they seek a replacement for contract rebel Claude Makelele.
