Islam Slimani is likely to be one of the most talked about players on Deadline Day, with several clubs reportedly interested in the Algeria international.
What happens to him will be down to AS Monaco and Leicester City.
Thursday saw talk the Ligue 1 club would be looking for compensation to cut short their loan of the player today, and at the Leicester end, it’s surely likelier they’d prefer Slimani goes to a club which won’t be challenging them for Champions League football.
Inter Milan could be an option, and TMW reports the club will make ‘new contacts’ before 15. By 15 we assume they mean 3pm in Italy, so 2pm here.
Serie A’s transfer window runs until 7pm, so making contact mid afternoon would look like an attempt to force through a move through before the deadline.
There’s no claim on a structure of a deal for the Leicester City owned player, and should Inter fail then they’ll turn their attention to Goran Pandev.
