Okazaki is a target for Rangers. Celtic are of the opinion that we will be recalling Benkovic and are looking for replacements - either Maguire's injury is worse then we thought or he is leaving.
If he returns and starts and Maguire goes, we are £80m richer and I’m not sure we are particularly worse off?
Silva is set for a return to Sporting - we will have to cover a bulk of his wages though. We are linked with Maxi Gomez a 22yo Uruguayan striker from Celta Vigo - would be a great signing imo.
We are linked with Macauley Bonne - a 23yo Zimbabwean striker from Leyton Orient - the latest "new Jaime Vardy". Raneiri might concrete himself as a Leicester legend (if he hasn't already) by taking Slimani off our hands in Jan. West Brom are still after Andy King.
Hopefully this is just gamesmanship as we need new signings... https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/...s/what-leicester-city-planned-january-2315003 Silva is wanted by Wolves and Newcastle. Iborra is in demand - is wanted by Villarreal as well.
Reports in Portugal that Sporting want to take both Adrien Silva and Islam Slimani back Can we have our £55M back aswell?
All that’s surprising is how long it’s taken the media to use the rumour... Funny that we’re due to play them twice as well... The Mirror article also says he’s on £110 grand a week with us as well so seems full of **** to me
We are linked with Jarrod Bowen - a 21yo winger from Hull. Harvey Barnes looks set to stay at West Brom on loan.
Nice to hear reports of players leaving us for a change. Worried about the Chilwell rumour, even if he leaves in the summer, we won't have a replacement. Also talk of us signing more CBs doesn't ease any concerns about us holding onto Maguire either, especially with Man U lurking with Mourhinio, they've either got to back him or sack him.
There are quite a few rumours about players leaving us - to name a few Jakupovic to Hull, Okazaki to Rangers, Iborra to mid level Spanish clubs, Silva to high level Portuguese clubs and King to almost every Championship team.
Morgan looks to be signing a new contract - he has improved as the season is going on but we are overloaded at CB. Celtic want Benkovic - doubt this will happen as we don't want to sell and Rodgers is rumoured to be leaving Celtic to join us in the summer so would want to keep him here. Simpson is still a target for Fulham - however with Amartey out, we might be hanging on to him for a while longer. Silva is close to rejoining Sporting on a permanent transfer - apparently has agreed a contract so is just the fee. We are linked with Remy Cabella - a 28yo French attacker from St Ettiene. Used to play for Newcastle a number of years ago where he didn't really set the Premier League alight but apparently has since improved a lot.
Drinkwater wants back. #lcfc are looking at ways to make it happen. Got to say this completely goes against all our development strategy of younger players
And the way in which we want to develop our style of play. I’ll be so mad at the club if this happens. Keep him away!
Ability wise I would have Drinkwater back. But because he refused to play for us to push through his move to Chelsea he has burnt his bridges IMO If they did bring him back though I would get behind him
Only reason I would take him is if it is a free transfer otherwise I wouldn't spend anything on a player who can't even make Chelsea's bench.
