Three days ago, Il Resto del Carlino reported Leicester City’s Victor Kristiansen is the main target for Bologna to strengthen their defence. It was also stated the Serie A side are not in a position to buy him and are trying to take him on an expensive loan deal.
The 20-year-old left FC Copenhagen for the Foxes in January and could be on the move again this summer.
That’s according to today’s Corriere dello Sport, who state Leicester’s relegation from the Premier League last season has opened the door for the Italian club to sign the left-back.
Thiago Motta’s side have received the player’s approval and now have to agree a deal with the Championship side to secure his services.
The issue to be resolved between the two clubs is the transfer formula. It’s said Leicester want a loan deal with an obligation to buy where Bologna have to pay €3-4m in loan fee and take care of the Denmark international’s full wages.
The newspaper states the Serie A side, on the other hand, would prefer to have an option to buy instead of a mandatory purchase option, and would ideally get that initial amount down.
If a deal for the Leicester player doesn’t materialise, Bologna could shift their focus on other targets.
They have Vasco da Gama’s Lucas Piton and São Paulo left-back Welington on their agenda.
