Following the long-term injury sustained by Wesley Fofana in pre-season, Leicester City are scrambling around Europe trying to find someone to cover in the Frenchman’s absence.
A few names have been touted, such as Jannik Vestergaard, and we’ve also had Stefan de Vrij, with a previous report claiming the Foxes would be willing to spend €48m on a double deal for the Dutchman and his Inter teammate, Marcelo Brozovic.
Corriere dello Sport talk about the Holland international once more on Thursday in an article about Inter’s reluctance to let anyone else go following the sales of Achraf Hakimi and Romelu Lukaku.
De Vrij, who is 29 and has a lot of experience under his belt, is mentioned as one of the players attracting some attention ‘from a couple of teams in the Premier League, with Leicester in the lead’.
However, Simone Inzaghi has been ‘clear in underlining that the starting defence will not be touched as it is the main source of solidity in the team’.
To us, that sounds that Leicester would have to go all out to get their man, and if they ever did and ended up signing him, we might see Inter’s manager simply walk away.
