Leicester City are demanding between €13-14m from Fiorentina for midfielder Dennis Praet this summer.
That’s according to Firenze Viola, who say the price is too much for the Italian to stomach at this moment in time.
Praet spent last season on loan with Torino from Leicester, and that has ramped up interest in his signature, particularly from Fiorentina, who are keen on a deal happening.
Negotiations have been underway between the two clubs for several weeks, but they are yet to reach an agreement, and Firenze Viola explain why.
According to their information, Leicester ‘have no intention’ of providing any discounts on Praet and are asking for €13-14m for his signature.
Brendan Rodgers’ side are willing to sanction a loan deal for the Belgian so long as that includes an ‘obligation’ to buy him at the end of it.
That’s something that doesn’t doesn’t suit Fiorentina at this moment in time, with them expected to make an initial offer that is ‘much lower’ than Leicester’s demands.
It means negotiations are needed between both clubs, with I Viola ‘most interested’ in a deal as they look to reinforce their midfield this summer.
