Over the past few days, the Italian media have insisted that Leicester City are keen on signing Juventus’ Matias Soulé.
This is relayed in Saturday’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport, who then share more updates on Leicester’s pursuit of the 21-year-old.
Soulé has returned to the Serie A side after spending last season on loan Frosinone, where he managed 11 goals and three assists from 36 league games. He’s unlikely to stay at the Turin club, and Steve Cooper’s side want to secure his services this summer.
It’s claimed the Argentina U21 international ‘says yes’ to Leicester, and they need to find an agreement with the Old Lady, who are ready to sanction his sale.
Leicester are ready to make a formal proposal of €25m plus €5m bonuses, which hasn’t convinced Juve. The newspaper says the deal can be concluded if they were to raise their bid to €30m excluding bonuses.
The Foxes will move decisively to secure this impressive signing and all that’s remaining is for them agree a deal with Juve to bring Soulé to England.
