Leicester City have a £25.5 million bid ready and waiting for Juventus star Merih Demiral, as report Sport.
Brendan Rodgers’s side are believed to have the most miserly defence in the entire Premier League. However, according to reports, that is not going to stop Leicester from spending money for another highly-rated centre-back with Wes Morgan well past his best and Filip Benkovic out of favour.
Sport claims that Leicester are hoping that a bid of £25.5 million will be enough to convince Maurizio Sarri's side to sell a player who grew up idolising Nemanja Vidic.
Demiral could form a fearsome partnership with his fellow Turkish international Caglar Soyuncu at the King Power Stadium.
However, it would be a huge shock if Juventus were willing to sell Demiral as the 21-year-old is said to be one of Sarri's favouries at the team.
“Merih was aggressive, fast and strong. He built a physical superiority and reassured the defence. I was very pleased that the defence performed well,” Sarri told Time24 after Demiral’s impressive performance against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League last week.
