Late on Friday, RMC Sport stated Chelsea have reached a verbal agreement with Leicester City to sign Wesley Fofana.

A few hours before this report surfaced, we carried a claim from TuttoMercatoWeb, who said Brendan Rodgers has Merih Demiral in mind to replace the Frenchman.

It was also stated Leicester will need a great offer to take the defender from Atalanta. TMW’s claim is backed up by other outlets in Italy.

Quotidiano has a short update on the Turkey international, who is on the Foxes’ radar. It’s said the Premier League side could ‘attempt a lunge’ to sign him if Fofana were to leave the King Power Stadium.

Leicester’s interest in the former Juventus man is also discussed by La Repubblica. They state the 24-year-old is identified as the ‘heir’ to Fofana.

With the Frenchman’s imminent move to Chelsea for in excess of €80m, Rodgers’ side have probed the Atalanta centre-back. Demiral, for his part, has ‘already given his approval’ to make a switch to the Premier League.

It’s now down to Leicester to find an agreement with Atalanta, if they want to carry out the Serie A defender’s signing.

Am I missing something? He's signed permanently for Atalanta this window.

Following a season on loan

 

Wouldn’t be the first time a team makes a loan permanent and then sells the player on for a profit

Atlanta need cash too.

I watch a lot of serie a on Sunday nights and this lad is very good defender. He’s hard as nails aswell and maybe just maybe would get Soyuncu playing again to form the a Turkish delight paring 😂

Any player we're linked with must be crap because Brendan is our manager. It's stupid opinions like that make this place such a bore.

Demiral would be a solid signing, but would he have any will to come to us?

I guess we'll probably pay more than Atalanta. There's the lure of the EPL too. It's a lazy trope but he may well be mates with Cags too.

The Premier League is still a draw for pretty much this reason and the enormous exposure the league enjoys, hence why German, French and Italian clubs outside of the truly massive institutions habitually lose players even to midtable sides.

 

Union Berlin lost their top scorer to Notts Forest this summer, and they're playing Europa League football this season.

I thought there were rules about how many clubs a player can be registered for in a single window?

Can we even sign a player who has just moved to a new club?! I thought there was a minimum of 6 months that had to be honoured?

I believe the only limit is that they can only be registered for up to 3 teams in a season, and can only play for 2 teams in that same period

 

No different really to when a team signs a player and then loans them out - still gets registered to another team

Just can’t play for more than two clubs a year. So seeming he was on loan at Atalanta it would be fine as he hasn’t played for Juventus in that time. It happens a fair bit on the continent that players loans are made permanent because of a low clause then they are immediately sold for profit, sometimes on the same day.

This guy likes his red cards

Hasn't had a straight red in club football since he was back in Turkey in 18/19

 

Last time he received 2 yellows in a game of club football was in 20/21

Did demiral play in euros last summer alongside soyuncu? If so I remember thinking he looked poor?!

 

The whole side looked poor compared to qualifying, so I'm hoping that was the manager as much as anything.
