Merih Demiral

[JimJams]

Greedy.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Is there a genuine recent link here, other than a really old one?

Is this the same Turkish central defence that got ripped apart in every game at the euros and haven’t been the same since it happened  

 

We prefer to acquire defenders in pairs.

 

We used to require that both guys had experience -- of being sent off against us.

 

    

 

But I guess our standards have slipped.

Fearing the worse, can see us over spending on someone that doesn't improve us.

An upgrade on Amarte shouldn’t cost more than a pint and a bag of crisps.

This would be a sensible buy at the right price. Particularly if it helped resurrect Calgars foxes career.

Taking a transfer luge could have been far more exciting

Atalanta’s Merih Demiral has ended up in the sights of Leicester City, according to a report from Italy.

Çağlar Söyüncü is one of the centre-backs currently at the King Power Stadium and his deal runs down at the end of this season.

The Turkey international is expected to leave in 2023, and this has seen Leicester look for his replacement.

According to FcInterNews, Brendan Rodgers’ side could ‘think of replacing’ Söyüncü with his compatriot, Demiral, and the Foxes option should ‘not be underestimated’ for the Atalanta centre-back.

The Serie A defender was proposed to Inter Milan in the summer and his name is linked to the Nerazzurri again due to Milan Škriniar’s contract situation, which expires at the end of the current campaign.

However, Simeone Inzaghi’s side don’t consider signing Demiral because of Atalanta’s demands.

Atalanta are starting from €40m and aim to get no less than €30m for the player.

As per the report, it is ‘easier’ for the Premier League clubs to match this figure, where Leicester shouldn’t be underestimated as an option for Demiral.

The centre-back has scored two goals from 15 matches in all competitions for the Italian club this season.

Can't see us spending big on a RW and a CB. 

 

Wonder if we're being used here to encourage Inter to make a move? 

[MPH]

Him again! I’d love to sign him but I’d be surprised if we spend £30m on anyone this winter window…

[surrifox]

no effin' way are we spending 40 mill on ole Merih 

[Tielemans63]

I'm sure Cags has nothing but good things to say about the club and the manager....

It's 30 million euros so would be £26.4 million because of the weak pound, so not much difference. As you say, don't think we'll spend that big, especially if we spending more on a RW.

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

Italian clubs love a loan with a view to a permanent in the summer.

[StanSP]

It's annoying we're selling a decent centre-back just to spend money on another purely because Rodgers has stopped rating him. 

 

[mbrambini]

Can you see this one happening teapot ? 

[JimmyC74]

Isn’t Glover’s MO more focused on youth players who can be developed and sold on at a profit. On that basis and limited funds i would have thought names likes Demirel would be unlikely this January

He heads bags of cement and is a right sided so he fits the profile Rodgers said. Tracked him for years too.

We’re not even selling him. He’s going on a free in the summer.

You can't force players to sign a new contract.

I'd imagine a loan with a option would be the only chance he comes here.

Not even that, but to alienate and cast him out even though he's decent enough for clubs like Atletico to be in for him seems odd.
