Leicester City to make another offer for Inter target, €13.5m Serie A star

Leicester City to make another offer for Inter target, €13.5m Serie A star

It looks like Inter have some competition for former Milan defender Francesco Acerbi: Leicester City!

The Foxes are reported by Goal.Com to be leading another charge for the €13.5m Serie A defender.

The sum mentioned was the previous offer the Premier League holders made for the 28-year-old.

With the centre-back pairing of Robert Huth and Wes Morgan floundering and Spaniard Luis Hernandez being sold to Malaga (something Leicester confirmed themselves), it looks like the Foxes are light in the middle.

 
While Hernandez had only played 10 games for a total of 803 minutes, Coach Ranieri would be far more likely to use Acerbi who, Sky Sport recently wrote, is very much admired by him.  

Ranieri is a long time admirer of Acerbi, and is reported to have called him several times to persuade him to move.

With previous offers of €10m and €12m having already been rejected and Acerbi seemingly intent on staying until the end of the season, this may be a tall order for Leicester City. But never say never…
