Anderlecht defender Kara Mbodj has told the Belgian club he’s considering surgery on a long-standing knee problem, so he’s ready for a move to the Premier League in the summer. The Senegal international was linked with Leicester City in the last window, along with Crystal Palace.
However, Anderlecht are reluctant about Mbodj going under the knife because they need the player for the rest of the season. The Belgian giants are hoping to convince the 27-year-old surgery isn’t the only answer to his troublesome knee, and that there are other ways to treat the injury.
Leicester City have had two offers rejected by Anderlecht, with the last bid being in the region of €10m. The Belgian club were not prepared to sell Mbodji for this fee, and were holding out for €15m. Mbodji has been promised an easier move in the next transfer window, and Leicester City could sign the central defender for a reasonable fee.
