Leicester City’s Islam Slimani spent last season on loan at Fenerbahce, but the striker failed to impress during his time in Turkey and was left out of the squad from the end of February.
On July 30th, the Algeria international stressed his “priority” is to continue with the Premier League side, where he still has two years left on his contract.
Three days ago, The Telegraph reported the 31-year-old and Adrien Silva are not included in Brendan Rodgers’ plans and are free to leave the Foxes.
Slimani’s compatriots Yacine Brahimi, Sofiane Hanni and Adlène Guedioura moved to Qatar in recent months. The latter left Nottingham Forest and joined Al-Gharafa.
According to Algerian outlet FennecFootball.com, Slimani has now been included on the list of transfer targets for Al-Gharafa and the Qatari side will make an approach for the Leicester player
It’s clear that Slimani has no future at Leicester, but it remains to be seen whether or not he will follow his compatriots and move to Qatar.
