Leicester City may face the departure of defender Wout Faes next year, as reports indicate that a Serie A club is interested in signing the centre-back.
As they sit at the top of the Championship, the Foxes are aiming to maintain their impressive form as they approach the new year, with automatic promotion to the Premier League within reach.
Their exceptional defensive record has been a key factor in their success, with the team conceding six goals less than their closest competitors in the division.
Since joining Leicester last year, Faes has been a standout performer, showcasing his strong defensive abilities and skill on the ball.
However, his stellar performances have attracted attention from abroad, with reports suggesting that Italian club Atalanta is keen on securing his services.
It’s rumored that the Championship club will be seeking to recoup the £15 million they paid Ligue 1 side Reims for the 25-year-old if they decide to sell him.
Currently occupying the ninth position in Serie A, Atalanta is said to be considering Faes as well as other defensive options such as Radu Dragusin and Josip Sutalo.
Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca will undoubtedly be reluctant to part ways with his defender, particularly with the team on the brink of a return to the Premier League.
