Leicester City have ‘signalled interest’ in signing – Club ‘trying everything’ to sell player

Leicester City could come to Schalke’s rescue in their efforts to get rid of Amine Harit before the transfer window closes.

The forward earns €5.5m per year and has two years left on his contract. Bild state the German club want to make €10m from his sale. So far, they have not managed to offload him and still have ‘the €21m problem’ to resolve.

Marseille and Galatasaray are not willing to buy the 25-year-old because these two sides find the price to be a ‘deterrent’.

Meanwhile, Schalke and their sporting director, Rouven Schröder, are ‘trying everything to sell’ him, including giving a severance payment to Harit. On the other hand, the attacker has refused to take a pay cut.

Leicester are tagged as the report states a new track is leading to the Foxes, who have picked up only one point from three games. After a poor start in the league, Brendan Rodgers’ side have ‘signalled their interest’ in Harit.

With Schalke keen to sell the Morocco international, it needs to be seen whether Leicester can convert their interest into a firm offer to sign him.

The player spent last season on loan at Marseille, managing five goals and four assists from 34 matches in all competitions.
