Leicester City, recently promoted to the Premier League, has expressed interest in acquiring Juventus winger Matias Soulé. The 21-year-old Argentine talent has caught the attention of several clubs following an impressive loan spell at Frosinone last season.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports The Foxes are reportedly prepared to make a significant investment in Soulé, with sources indicating they are willing to offer around €25 million (approximately £21.5 million) for the young prospect. However, this initial offer falls short of Juventus’ valuation, which is believed to be closer to €40 million (about £34.3 million).
Soulé’s performances in Serie A have not gone unnoticed, with the winger contributing 11 goals and 3 assists during his loan at Frosinone. This productive season has elevated his profile and market value, making him an attractive target for clubs looking to bolster their attacking options.
Despite Leicester’s interest, negotiations have not yet officially begun due to the significant gap between the club’s offer and Juventus’ asking price. The Italian giants seem to value Soulé at a considerably higher figure, potentially over £33 million, reflecting their belief in his potential and current ability.
