Operation to sign Leicester City player could ‘soon take off’ – Initial request found ‘excessive’

Following reports from the Italian media which revealed Juventus interest in Leicester City fullback Timothy Castagne, we now get to see some more details of this chase.

Outlet TuttoMercatoWeb feature a piece claiming this operation could ‘soon take off’.

The first step would be the agreement between Juventus and Leicester City. It’s said the Foxes have his price tag at €15m, and that’s considered ‘excessive’ by the Old Lady.

Then for the Bianconeri to have a deal with Castagne himself, it seems that wouldn’t be a problem. TuttoMercatoWeb cover claims from La Stampa which state the player ‘expressed his pleasure’ to join the Italian giants this summer.

The newspaper says there’ll be a new meeting ‘in the next few days’ to sort this ‘distance’ there is between Juventus’ offer and Leicester City’s request.

It’s claimed that despite this initial difficulty for a deal, there’s actually ‘confidence’ of a happy ending in this negotiation.

Leicester City’s relegation drew interest from many clubs to players in the Foxes’ squad, and it seems Castagne is one of those who could soon be off.
