Leeds United manager Thomas Christiansen has made a decision on the future of Italian central defender Giuseppe Bellusci, according to Phil Hay of the Yorkshire Evening Post.
However, the Spanish manager has refused to give away anymore information, and Leeds United fans will be on their edge of the seat until his decision has been confirmed.
Phil Hay put out this tweet shortly after The Whites’ pre season victory over Guisely:
Bellusci – Christiansen said Leeds have "made our decision" on his future but wouldn't say more than that. #lufc

The Spanish manager is expected to name his squad for the pre season trip to Austria in the next week or so, and that will give an indication as the whether Bellusci is in his plans or not.
If he is named in the squad, it is likely he is staying at Elland Road. If his name is not on the list, then he will be looking for a new football club.
The controversial defender spent the last season away from the club, playing for Empoli in Serie A.
The Italian club were relegated, meaning they did not reach the clause in the loan deal to sign Bellusci on a permanent basis.
However, they have since shown interest, and fellow Italian side Cagliari are also reported to be looking at the Leeds defender.
Bellusci caused a bit of a stir during today’s game when he took to twitter to hit back at fans who had given him abuse.
He had started the game, playing the first 45 minutes, before being withdrawn at half time along with 10 other players.
It is fair to say he did not get the best of receptions, and consequently he felt the need to tweet a message out, whilst the second half of the match was being played.
