Leicester City are one of the clubs in the picture to sign VfL Bochum’s Bernardo in the summer window.
That’s at least what Sky Deutschland are reporting, and they cover Leicester’s interest in the defender when discussing his future.
The 29-year-old joined the Bundesliga club from Red Bull Salzburg in August 2023 and signed a contract until the end of this season.
Sky claim the Brazilian will not be extending his contract at Bochum and will leave as a free agent in the next window.
The centre-back missed the start of this season and was sidelined with a knee injury until November. He’s been a regular since then, making 15 league appearances so far.
Bernardo’s contract situation, coupled with his ‘strong defensive performances’ have seen him attract interest from clubs in Germany and across Europe, including Leicester.
The report claims Leicester, VfL Wolfsburg, Union Berlin, Villarreal and CA Osasuna are all interested in the South American.
Sky add the player has already received ‘concrete enquires’. They haven’t made it clear or specified whether the Foxes are one of those to have made a concrete approach.
