Atalanta have reportedly set their sights on Leicester City defender Wout Faes as a potential transfer target for the upcoming January window. Despite expectations of his departure after Leicester’s relegation, the 25-year-old has remained with the team and has been a standout player for them this season.
However, Atalanta faces challenges in securing Faes, as other Serie A clubs have experienced difficulties in their attempts to sign him from Leicester. Despite this, the Belgian defender may be enticed by Atalanta’s current participation in the Europa League and their strong position in the Serie A standings.
While there is no indication that Faes desires to leave Leicester or that the team is willing to entertain offers, his potential move to Atalanta may provide him with an opportunity to compete at a higher level as the Euros approach. Nonetheless, Leicester is on track for promotion back to the Premier League, and Faes is a key player in their lineup.
