Leicester City is eager to make Manchester City loanee Callum Doyle a permanent member of their team, according to The Athletic. Enzo Maresca, the manager of Leicester City, used his connections with Manchester City to bring the left-footed defender on loan for the 2023/24 season.
The initial loan deal for Callum Doyle included talks about a potential permanent or obligation-to-buy agreement, as reported by The Athletic. Despite a promising start to his time at Leicester City as a left-back, a knee injury has halted his progress, and he is currently in the process of recovering.
Nevertheless, a recent report from The Athletic suggests that the Foxes are still keen on securing Callum Doyle on a permanent basis, underscoring their determination to extend his stay beyond the original loan period.
Callum Doyle’s return to the starting lineup for Leicester City and a revival of form will likely be crucial in discussions about a permanent transfer.
The backing from fans and Enzo Maresca’s ties with Manchester City could prove advantageous. Furthermore, if Leicester City secures promotion from the Championship, it may strengthen their position for a potential permanent deal.
It is also challenging to see a clear path to the first team at the moment considering the wealth of talent Manchester City currently have in their defensive line.
