Leicester City defender Yohan Benalouane could be leaving the club in before the end of the January transfer window, according to claims this Thursday.
It’s the Italian outlet Calcio Mercato who claims the player’s departure has been attracting some interest from clubs in Serie A and Ligue 1.
In Italy, Genoa is the club who would be interested in taking Benalouane back to the country where he already featured for the likes of Parma, Cesena, Atalanta and Fiorentina.
The website claims that there have been contacts between Genoa and the player’s entourage in the past few weeks, and the interest exists, even though there haven’t been any updates in the past few hours.
The French club who would like to take Benalouane back home isn’t named, but is another one who could take the player from Leicester in the January window.
The 30-year-old has only three appearances for Leicester City this season, none of them in the Premier League. Signed from Atalanta on a €7m deal in 2015, his contract with the Foxes runs until 2019.
