Leicester wants a “exceptional” jewel worth £8 million, possibly Tielemans 2.0.
When Leicester City supporters reflect on their team’s incredible past accomplishments, it must seem like a very long time ago. The East Midlands underdogs quickly won both the FA Cup and the Premier League, marking a fantastic moment to be a Foxes supporter.
With Steve Cooper leading the team and tasked with preventing relegation, fans crammed into King Power Stadium for the upcoming season can only hope they will survive in the top division, far from their past great exploits.
With this possible addition in the door, Leicester might try to relive their incredible FA Cup final day at Wembley. He could end up becoming the next Youri Tielemans for the recently promoted team.
The midfielder that Leicester City is looking for
Sport Witness cited a source from Belgian publication Het Laatste Nieuws as saying that Leicester is “concretely interested” in Royal Antwerp star Mandela Keita this summer as Cooper looks to improve the midfield ranks.
The 22-year-old talent is reportedly attracting interest from Rennes and Fiorentina as well.
News from SkySports: According to Fabrizio, Leicester City formally announced the departure of fan favorite center back to the Woves. A three-year contract of £17.3 million was been agreed upon. Leicester wants to sign a “exceptional” jewel for £8 million, which would make him Tielemans 2.0.
However, a move may require a price of almost £8 million, based on his current projected market value, as per Football Transfers. Leicester would need to shell out a lot of money to acquire their ideal target.
