I can't see this happening. The only way it possibly could is a loan with a guarantee that he'll be out main striker. But would Inter let him drop a division in another country, when he scored in the CWC and is highly rated. I'm not so sure.

Just saw a link to Josh sergeant because he is with Wasserman. Sure we can’t pay 600k for Rohl but we’ll spend 15m on a striker 

 

same article suggested Oxlade-Chamberlein was close 

We’ve paid £400000release clause for Cifuentes so the Rohl story about not paying his release clause must be untrue?

I assume this means Harry Toffolo.

 

Left back, just released from Forest.

I wouldn't be mad at that if VK goes, leaving Toffolo and Thomas as our LB choices.

If Dyche had taken job this would have been done, not as certain now. He’s got a few offers on the table, will decide by end of July. We would be ideal for him, only lives 20 mins from Seagrave

Toffolo is solid but we don't need him. VK out, still got Thomas, Aluko, Justin and Coulibaly who all play there. Discounting Ricardo as he's likely to be a CM next season.

I guess if Thomas is out they may want balance with a left footed player. Only logic I can think of.

What we don’t know is who else has an eye on the exit door, didn’t Riccy say after  the season finished that he would be open to a new project. I would not be surprised if 3 or 4 players that aren’t in the fans bomb squad are open to moves if the right opportunity comes along, I would not be surprised in the slightest if Riccy, Winks, Skipp and even Mavididi have been assessing their options and open to potential moves.

Not needed, and doggo to boot.

Not better than what we've got, doesn't have any outstanding qualities, 30 next month, wasserman client, typical agent led Rudkin bottlejob signing on a 3/4 year contract out of favour and stuck with after 10 games

This is true but it leaves a situation were we don't have any left footers or natural left sided players in the whole backline. 

A right footed LCB, passing to a right footed LB whilst under pressure from a press could cause issues. 

[JimJams]

We don't need fullbacks unless we shift a decent number of our present options with a year left on their contracts.

[LestaLad]

Just play Aluko. He’s the future.

Who was the lad that replaced VK yesterday? Ali or something like that? He looked like a decent player

Seems like there’s a lot more to the Rohl saga that we’ll probably never know.

S.W. staff and players unhappy about his return due to him advising the chairman what players would not

attract a transfer fee and so could get away without fulfilling their contract.

[FrankieADZ]

basically he could be heading there on loan or something

 He played for them in the friendly because they were short on numbers, but I think he’s speculating they could use him on loan rather than any concrete interest from them..

Wasserman,Unique Sports and CAA are the 3 biggest agencies so we have to deal with one of them whoever we purchase.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14918073/Leicester-City-transfer-briefing-Marti-Cifuentes-Bilal-El-Khannouss.html
 

Who does Marti Cifuentes want to keep?

The Spaniard has an impressive track record of working with young players and will try to build his Leicester team around the best of them, like Ben Nelson, Kasey McAteer and – of course – 16-year-old Jeremy Monga. 

 

Cifuentes is also excited to work with Abdul Fatawu, who sustained a serious knee injury last autumn just when he was finding his stride in the Premier League. 
 

He will also look closely at Jake Evans, who made his debut in the Premier League, and Louis Page, who has looked sharp in the early part of pre-season. 

 

He will need some experience, too, though who Leicester keep is not entirely in his control, as the club need to sell to generate transfer funds.

 

A word on Page: the 17-year-old has two years of a scholar’s contract to run and Leicester are relaxed about the situation. Keeping Monga is easily the brightest news of a dire year for the club, and proves they are prepared to give a chance to youngsters.

 

There are transfer priorities, though they will not be easy to realise, with Leicester targeting a striker, a left-sided midfielder and a No6, as well as a goalkeeper if Mads Hermansen departs.

 

What will happen with Bilal El Khannouss?

The Moroccan was one of Leicester’s most eye-catching players last term and despite the club’s relegation, he did enough to generate top-flight interest in signing him. 
 

The fee is the sticking point, however: Leicester paid about £20m for the 21-year-old and would want a substantial return on their investment if he is to be sold. Mail Sport understands no club has proposed anything close to the Foxes’ valuation.

 

One option to be considered is a year’s loan with an obligation to buy. El Khannouss signed a four-year deal, meaning his ‘book value’ is now about £15m.

 

If he played well on loan in the Premier League for a season, his price would increase greatly in 12 months’ time, and a reduced book value would generate higher profit.

 

Who else could leave?

Mail Sport can reveal that Leicester have yet to receive a firm bid for Wilfred Ndidi, even though there have been enquiries for the Nigeria midfielder. 
 

But the 28-year-old would be allowed to depart, as would goalkeeper Hermansen. The Dane was courted by Chelsea last summer and an offer of about £40m was proposed, although never formally submitted. 

 

Although Enzo Maresca is a huge fan of Hermansen and brought him to Leicester, Chelsea already have four goalkeepers and Robert Sanchez improved his standing with some strong displays at the Club World Cup. 

 

The goalkeeper market is notoriously difficult: just ask Aston Villa, who have been prepared to sell Emi Martinez all summer but have yet to receive a serious bid. 

 

Keep an eye on West Ham, though, who have just appointed Hermansen’s fellow Dane Casper Ankergren as goalkeeping coach. Victor Kristiansen, meanwhile, has interest in Serie A, where he helped Bologna reach the Champions League in 2023-24.

 

What about the high earners?

Unfortunately for Leicester, there is more surgery needed on the squad than simply making a couple of big sales. 

 

Conor Coady was the subject of an approach from Rangers two weeks ago but that has yet to be followed up officially, and Coady was happy to travel to Austria for a pre-season training camp. 

 

Yet Rangers’ interest remains and unless Cifuentes is counting on the former Wolves defender, that deal could still go ahead. Then there is Jannik Vestergaard, Harry Winks, Jordan Ayew, James Justin, Oliver Skipp, Bobby Decordova-Reid and others on substantial wages. 
 

Earlier this summer, Vestergaard was thought to be willing to reach a settlement on the remaining two years of his contract, though such arrangements are easier said than done and the Dane has subsequently said he is open to staying. 

 

So far, there has been scant interest in Justin, who looks a shadow of the player who was capped by England in June 2022.

Probably linked because Walker-Peters move fell through with them. 

 

I'd rather he stays then bin him off in summer.
