Transfer Rumours Winter 2024 Transfer Window

Atletico Madrid have made an offer of £71m forLeicester City's England defender Ben Chilwell, 22, but will face competition from Manchester City. (Sun)

.... oh

 

Meanwhile, the Foxes' 22-year-old English midfielder James Maddison is attracting interest from Tottenham. (Mirror)

 

The price of success without breaking through to the top six, everyone wants our best young players. Hopefully they all stay but that makes next season imperative that we do take the next step up.

 

Maddison would cost something stupid like £60-70M

We paid £24M a year ago and he is under a long term contract and we dont want to sell

Tottenham wont pay anywhere near what we would ask and Maddison isnt worth what we would ask

 

This was my exact thoughts as well.

Can see Chilwell at Athletico though

 

I have written to them on King Power headed paper to inform them that we are not interested in a straight cash deal but would consider Antoine Greizman plus £30 million cash ... and I would be willing to throw in Andy King as a goodwill gesture

 

Leicester City are ready to compete with Manchester United and Everton for Chelsea's£15m-rated English full-back Reece James, 19, who spent the season on loan at Wigan. (Sun)

 

Reports in Portugal that Islam Slimani is close to signing for Sporting Lisbon and a season long loan

 

We best charge them through the nose for it after how they’ve ripped us off twice...

 

£55M pissed up the wall on Silva and Slimani

At least we did well with Porto on Ricardo

 

Silva could still be worth it if he helps us land Tielemans......
Slimani, well he scored some important goals for us but just too expensive. Had we spent 15 mill on him we’d probably be disappointed how things turned out but felt we had got our money’s worth.
On the flip side, Schmeichel, Morgan, Albrighton and Vardy who are still going strong cost like what, £3 mill?

 

Daily Star - Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is ready to pay £72m for Leicester midfielder James Maddison.

 

Am I alone in thinking that I'd accept that? It would take stupid money for us to sell and that is a stupid figure...

We are linked with 23yo AM Bertrand Traore from Lyon and 19yo RW Ferran Torres from Valencia.

 

What a load of bollox

 

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers will test Crystal Palace's resolve to keep 27-year-old English winger Andros Townsend. (Mirror)

 

Man Utd are apparently in contact with us for Maddison - and he is reportedly very interested as he is a Man Utd fan...

 

Everton have made a £24m bid for Roma and Turkey winger Cengiz Under, 21. (Star)

Not sure if this is true or not, but if so we should be joining this race...

 

Doesn't really matter if he is interested as he is on a long term contract with us. He could go down the Mahrez route and be petulant I suppose but I'm sure Morgan could take back behind the bike sheds and convince him otherwise. Seriously, we need to keep this fantastic young group of players we have and even add to them

 

Ben Chilwell on his future- 'I'm at Leicester and with Brendan Rodgers coming in we're all loving him being there and that's where my head's at” #lcfc

 

Interestingly on the Bluemoon forum they at only quoting the bit where he says it’s nice to receive praise not where he said it didn’t make him feel special or the but you quoted. Think they are in for disappointment.

On the latest Maddison rumours, I make this now, at latest count, just Schmeichel rolling the ball out to Evans who will hoof it to the opposition as we have nobody else for him to pass to? Or have I missed the rumours of where those two will be playing next season as well?
