Fiorentina will be willing to sell forward Nico Gonzalez to Leicester City this month if they receive a €35m offer.
That’s according to Gazzetta dello Sport, who say the Italian side have marked the forward as ‘expendable for the cause’ if the right price is offered.
Leicester are keen to add to their squad this month, with Brendan Rodgers reportedly targeting a fast wide player to bolster his forward options.
Gonzalez has emerged as a target over the last week, with several reports in Italy stating that they are pushing to try and make a deal happen.
Indeed it was claimed yesterday that the Foxes had put a €34m offer on the table and Fiorentina were seriously considering accepting it.
The problem is the series of injury issues that have plagued him of late, and saw him miss the tournament in Qatar as a result.
They ‘do not give optimism’ for the future and, as a result, Fiorentina are willing to consider a sale. If a €35m offer were to be made, Gonzalez would be considered ‘expendable for the cause’.
That means, then, Leicester may just be €1m short of hitting the magic figure needed to convince the Serie A side into a sale if they have indeed lodged a €34m bid.
The reality is, though, that the player is very much a target and the belief in Italy is that he will be involved in a potential departure this month.
