Things to know about Leicester's Brazilian transfer target Bernardo | OneFootball

Planning at Leicester City Football Club is underway for next season even at this stage of the existing campaign. And preparations are happening behind the scenes even though the Foxes don't know exactly which division they will reside in next term. Those opposing factors technically mean it's another mistake for City to be preparing and prepping transfers. For example, players are less likely to agree to join the east Midlands outfit whilst LCFC's status is completely up in the air. I know it's a mess on Filbert Way anyway, but uncertainty makes things all the more confusing.

However, if City could actually manage to secure one quality signing for no fee whatsoever, a loan or otherwise, obviously they should go for it. A few names have already been mentioned or connected with potential respective moves to King Power Stadium. Some rumours include stars or up-and-coming footballers such as: Rafiu Durosinmi, Sampson Dweh, Jorthy Mokio, Manor Solomon and Chemsdine Talbi. To name only a few.

Now another person has been linked with possibly joining the Leicestershire side. In this article, we explain speculation along with detailing the player in question. Not to mention offering our verdict on whether a potential agreement is plausible. So, here are some things to know about Leicester's Brazilian transfer target Bernardo. What's he all about?

If you weren't aware, Leicester fans have a special relationship with German team Bochum. Maybe LCFC's recruitment department will pull some strings in order to complete a deal for the centre back.

Bernardo has concrete offers on the table as a soon-to-be free agent, it is claimed. Wolfsburg, Villarreal, Union Berlin and Osasun are said to be interested parties.

The 29-year-old has EPL experience with Brighton & Hove Albion. A leader on the ground and in the air, Bernardo could be a practical addition to solidify City's defence. The versatility to play at left back is invaluable, especially in inverted systems.
