Leicester City is reportedly close to finalizing a loan deal for Facundo Buonanotte from Brighton within the next 24 to 48 hours this summer, a player who has also been on the radar of Scottish champions Celtic. The potential transfer has sparked interest from several football circles, with speculations surrounding the impending move.
As the Foxes gear up for their return to the Premier League next season, manager Steve Cooper is actively seeking to bolster his squad with new reinforcements. Recognizing the importance of strengthening across the board, particularly in terms of creativity and goal-scoring abilities, Cooper is determined to ensure that Leicester can compete effectively in the top flight.
Despite Brendan Rodgers’ desire to strengthen his Celtic side with the acquisition of Buonanotte, Leicester seems to have gained an edge in negotiations with reports indicating progress in talks. It appears that the Leicester hierarchy is keen to expedite the deal and secure the services of the 19-year-old Argentinian midfielder at the earliest opportunity.
Buonanotte, who made the switch to Brighton from Rosario Central in January last year, has amassed valuable experience with 50 appearances for the Seagulls. Brighton is evidently keen on securing regular Premier League football for the talented youngster in the upcoming season to facilitate his growth and development as a player.
Should Leicester succeed in securing Buonanotte’s signature, it would undoubtedly be a significant blow for Celtic, who are already facing the threat of potentially losing another key player in Matt O’Riley. The consequences of this potential transfer saga are eagerly awaited by fans and analysts alike, as the football landscape continues to evolve with each passing day.
