Hunt was one of five players who were released by Reading after their relegation from the Premier League.
According to Sky Sports News, the 30-year-old has attracted interest from several clubs, but Leeds look likely to secure the Irishman's signature.
If Hunt does seal a move to Elland Road, it will see him link up with former Reading boss Brian McDermott.
