The agent of Leicester City defender Yohan Benalouane has told the Italian media he won’t rule out a return to Serie A for his client. The Tunisian international joined Leicester City two years ago, but has struggled to hold down a regular place in the team.

Speaking to TMW, Daniel Striani was asked if Benalouane would be returning to Italy:  “Never say never. He has a soft spot for Serie A, but he is at Leicester and he has two more years left on his contract.”

Benalouane signed for Leicester City from Atalanta in 2015, but was frozen out by former manager Claudio Ranieri.

Under Craig Shakespeare the 30 year old managed to get some games, mainly due to injuries and suspensions. However, with Leicester City signing Harry McGuire from Hull City his future with the Premier League side is uncertain.

A move back to Serie A could be an option for the player, but he had a bad experience whilst on loan with Fiorentina two seasons ago.
