The agent of Genoa midfielder Diego Laxalt has confirmed Leicester City are interested in his client. In the past few days there have been claims the Premier League champions could look to move in for the former U20 Uruguay international.
“Yes, there is the interest of Leicester, but they not the only English team to have requested information for him. There are at least two more. No offer yet on the part of Leicester for Laxalt,” said the player’s agent.
Laxalt arrived in Italy in 2013 when Inter Milan bought the midfielder from Defensor Sporting. However, the South American didn’t play a game for the San Siro club, and after loan spells with the likes of Bologna and Empoli he signed for Genoa last month.
However, Leicester City are still keen on Laxalt, and could look to move in on the youngster before the deadline.
