If there’s one man who desperately needs a new club this summer, it’s Islam Slimani.
The Leicester City striker has been out of favour at the King Power Stadium ever since Claudio Ranieri was sacked, and a series of disappointing loans never helped his case.
That is, at least, until this year, when the Algeria international enjoyed something of a revival at AS Monaco, where he formed a great partnership with Wissam Ben Yedder.
Unfortunately, the purchase option in the deal was never triggered, and with the Ligue 1 season now over, Slimani is back at Leicester.
They aren’t the only ones, mind, as Le10 Sport are now reporting that Nîmes Olympique, in what seemed to be a rush of blood to the head, also gave it a go.
The website state the club who finished 18th in this season’s French elite (but won’t be relegated) ‘recently tried to sign’ the Algerian striker, but it was deemed ‘impossible’ from a financial point of view.
Well, if you don’t buy a ticket, you won’t win the raffle…
