Leicester City Interest In £13 Million-Rated “Diamond”

Leicester City could be set to use the January transfer window as a chance to strengthen their squad in an attempt to beat the Championship’s points record and have identified one player who can bolster the team.

It was revealed last Sunday that the Foxes were keen to sign Fabio Carvalho on loan from Liverpool after a disappointing six-month spell with Champions League outfit RB Leipzig

In Germany, the Portuguese playmaker played just 360 minutes in total which was spread across 15 appearances in all competitions. This averages out at merely 24 minutes per appearance, causing Liverpool to recall Carvalho from his loan stint at the end of December.

Nevertheless, it was reported by Sky Sports that Jurgen Klopp has no plans for the 21-year-old and will look to send him back out on loan for the remainder of the campaign, with Leicester City keen to secure his services

On Saturday morning, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also hinted that the former Premier League champions hold an interest in signing Carvalho on loan until the summer, revealing on Twitter/X that:

“Top [six] Championship clubs have also asked for loan [for Carvalho], waiting for Liverpool and player’s camp to decide for best option.”

Without directly naming Leicester City, Romano seems to back Sky Sports’ claim that the Leicestershire club are hoping to bring Carvalho to the King Power Stadium to strengthen their bid for a return to the top-flight.

Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman believes that Carvalho would be an excellent signing for a club in the Championship and even described the attacking midfielder as a “diamond” [quotes via Football League World]
