Leicester City’s Timothy Castagne has ended up on Fulham’s radar, according to a report from Italy.
The fullback would like to leave the King Power Stadium after the Foxes’ relegation from the Premier League. Claims from Italy have pushed Juventus out in front as the main contender.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side will face competition from Fulham to sign the 27-year-old, according to Tutto Juve.
Their title states the Premier League side ‘insist on Castagne’ and within the report, it’s said the London club’s ‘pressing is insistent’ to acquire the Leicester player’s signature.
Despite Fulham joining the chase for the Belgium international, the website states the Serie A side are still in pole position. That’s because the ex-Atalanta man would prefer a return to Italy and has already given his approval to the Turin club.
Castagne, who can operate as a left-back and right-back, has a deal lasting until 2025. Tutto Juve say Leicester value him around €15m.
Although Juventus are currently on pole, they will have to carry out a few sales to sign Castagne. This may give Fulham time to try to get ahead of the Italian club to convince the player to join them.
