Leicester City linked with a player plus cash deal for £24 million rated Serie A star | OneFootball

Leicester City are reportedly eyeing a move for Dutch center-back Perr Schuurs, currently playing for Italian club Torino, according to Tuttosport as reported by HITC

Schuurs joined Torino from Ajax last summer for £8 million and has been the subject of interest from several other clubs in Europe, including Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.

His agent has previously confirmed that besides Liverpool, Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain are also keeping tabs on him.

Leicester City’s pursuit of Schuurs is no surprise given his impressive performances, but the Foxes may face competition from other clubs who are also interested in signing him.

Torino is said to be demanding a fee of £24 million for the young defender, but Leicester City could potentially lower the fee by offering Dennis Praet as a makeweight in negotiations.

Praet spent last season on loan at Torino and impressed during his time there.
