Regarding Matias Soulé, there are conflicting reports as of tonight.
According to reports, Leicester City is offering Juventus €30 million with an additional €5 million in add-ons; however, the player is leaning toward Roma because of the circumstances surrounding Alexis Saelemaekers.
This summer, Juventus plans to sell the Argentine for a substantial profit so that they can use the money to finance their pursuit of Teun Koopmeiners, the top player for Atalanta. The Argentine spent the previous season on loan at Frosinone.
Leicester City is prepared to up their initially rejected offering to reach €30 million plus an additional €5 million in add-ons, according to Sportitalia this evening. This amount, which is near to the Bianconeri’s initial €40 million asking price, would satisfy them.
The Soulé saga continues
However, Sky Sport Italia insist that Soulé would much prefer to remain in Serie A and join Roma instead, agreeing personal terms with the Stadio Olimpico side.
The player has his sights set on Leicester City, but their offer—roughly €20 million plus €5 million in bonuses—would be significantly lower.
Additionally, it appears that Soulé’s reluctance has reached the Foxes, since Sportitalia disclosed today that Leicester had also submitted an offer for Alexis Saelemaekers, a right-sided winger for Milan.
At such amount, the 25-year-old Belgium international would cost less than half of Soulé, which was close to the €10–12 million asking price.
Could Leicester City give up on the Juventus star and send him to Roma if they are successful in closing the deal?
