Monaco in negotiations with Leicester over Patson Daka transfer | OneFootball

L’Équipe are reporting that AS Monaco are in negotiations with Championship side Leicester City over a move for Patson Daka (24).

It is no secret that Monaco are in the market for a striker. Even prior to Breel Embolo’s ACL injury, the Principality club were looking to add quality and depth to this area of the pitch. Kevin Volland also now looks set for a return to Germany, whilst Wissam Ben Yedder, who last week was charged with rape, has just one year remaining on his deal with Les Monégasques.

According to RMC Sport, Monaco have submitted an offer for Arsenal’s Folarin Balogun. However, this offer fell short of the Gunners’ hefty €50m evaluation. Whilst continuing talks with Arsenal over a move for the USMNT striker, Monaco have also begun discussions with Leicester over a move for Daka. The Zambian international striker, who joined the Foxes in 2021, would be interested in the move, according to L’Équipe.
