Director trying to ‘accelerate’ talks for Leicester player – Club now have resources for signing

The Italian media today reports Torino’s strong desire to sign Dennis Praet from Leicester City.

The reports regarding the Serie A side’s wish to make his loan a permanent move have been on for a while, and since the club now agreed to sell Bremer to Juventus, they have the cash to afford the operation for the midfielder.

Outlet Calciomercato is one of those bringing those updates. They claim Torino director Davide Vagnati is now trying to ‘accelerate’ to get Praet from Leicester City, as an ‘agreement is being sought’ with the Foxes.

They write that the player could move to Turin on a new loan, but this time, the clubs would include an obligatory buying clause, for which the figures are still being discussed.

The report claims there’s ‘still a distance’ for a deal.

Meanwhile, also mentioning Bremer’s transfer Tuttosport (via Sport Mediaset) bring a different kind of story.

They explain that Torino want to make a proposal of between €7m and €8m for the transfer, looking more like an outright purchase.

It still isn’t said if Leicester City would accept that amount, despite them claiming Vagnati now ‘has the money’ to work on the market after the big sale of Gleison Bremer.

Either way, it seems the Serie A side are focused on getting a deal done.
