Despite some optimism in the Rome press that Matias Soule would be joining AS Roma, Leicester City is still a possibility for him.
Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday even claims the Foxes are in first position to sign the Juventus midfielder.
Numerous teams have expressed interest in the 21-year-old this summer and in the lead-up to it, but many turn them down when they learn of Juventus’ high demands for the winger.
Soule has been wildly inconsistent with his asking price, and it seems like the Serie A team is always pushing for more. According to Gazzetta, the Argentina deal is worth €40 million, which is why Leicester’s €25 million (plus €5 million in bonuses) was awarded a
In reality, they’d almost certainly accept lesser and Gazzetta believe €30m plus €5m should do it.
Roma won’t go to €30m, even if bonuses are included. Juventus therefore believe Leicester City is the most serious option. They’d also like to sell Soule abroad, a stance backed up by Corriere dello Sport who say that if all things are equal, Juve will sell to the Foxes.
Gazzetta say that on a personal basis, Soule will go with whatever Juventus decide.
