At the start of this year, we covered claims made in France that Leicester City have been interested in Mohamed-Ali Cho for a ‘very long time’.
It was also explained the Premier League side have held talks with Angers for the striker, and the Ligue 1 side are ‘asking for €40m’ to part ways with their player.
The France U19 international scored a brace in his country’s 5-0 win over Sweden U19 this month. He’s also found the back of the net on two occasions in the league for Angers this season.
Foot Mercato brings the latest update on the clubs looking at the 18-year-old and Leicester are mentioned in the report.
Cho’s current deal run down in 2023. This, coupled with his ‘explosive profile’ and ‘room for improvement’ makes him a ‘very coveted player’ in the market.
After Leicester City and Borussia Dortmund, Real Betis are now said to be interested in the player.
It’s claimed the La Liga side have made contacts with the atatcker’s entourage, but they have not made ‘concrete progress’, which should come as an encouragement for Leicester and BVB.
After stating that Angers are asking for €40m in January, Foot Mercato now explain they want €20m for Cho, but the latest price tag has put off Manuel Pellegrini’s side.
Cho will enter the final year of his contract in July and without a renewal, Angers could try to cash in from his sale in the summer, which is also why his price tag might have halved.
