Leicester City and Enzo Maresca are hoping to finish the January transfer window on a positive note despite financial limitations that have hampered their business so far.
They are in need of a new midfielder and have been unable to make any signings to bolster their squad. The recall of loanee Cesare Casadei has further complicated their situation. Financial restrictions have prevented the manager from bringing in new players, and the club has also failed to sell any players to make room for new signings.
Despite these challenges, there is still hope for a successful end to the transfer window. The top priority is signing Sensi, the midfielder that Maresca has been eyeing. While this may go against the traditional scouting and data-driven approach, Sensi’s skill set and familiarity with Maresca’s style make him an ideal addition to the squad. Additionally, a second midfield signing to replace Casadei would be ideal, preferably a young Premier League player who can provide depth in the squad.
To make these signings possible, the club needs to make some sales. Players like Danny Ward, Harry Souttar, and Dennis Praet could be sold to free up space in the squad and generate funds for new acquisitions. If successful, this could also open up opportunities for some players to go out on loan and gain valuable experience.
While the challenges are significant, there is still potential for Leicester City and Maresca to end the transfer window on a positive note with the right signings and strategic moves.
