On November 9th, Calciomercato explained that Leicester City are still in the picture to sign Jeremie Boga after making a concrete attempt in the summer window.
A week later, Primo Bergamo stated the Foxes will get another chance to land the winger as he is expected to leave the Serie A side in January.
Leicester City will face competition from Fiorentina as they are looking at the 25-year-old to provide cover for injured duo Nico Gonzalez and Riccardo Sottil.
That’s according to La Repubblica, relayed by Fiorentina.it, who say Fiorentina see Boga as a market opportunity. They have already asked Atalanta about what’s needed to sign the Ivory Coast international.
After investing €20m in the summer, Boga struggled to impress for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side. He failed to score a goal or register an assist from 74 minutes of action across six matches. Therefore, Atalanta are willing to let him leave only on a loan deal in January.
Fiorentina are warned about Brendan Rodgers’ side because the report explains ‘there is a negotiation with Leicester’ for Boga. This has seen Fiorentina evaluate other options to bolster their attack in the winter market.
