According to a Calcio Mercato report, Leicester City is still Inter Milan midfielder Stefano Sensi’s most likely destination at this time.
The Foxes weren’t very busy during the January transfer window – and that isn’t a surprise considering the Foxes brought in several excellent additions during the summer transfer window.
These additions helped the club to climb to the top of the Championship table – and even though Leeds United have reduced the gap between themselves and the Midlands club to nine points – the Foxes still have a healthy gap between themselves and all of their promotion rivals.
| Championship Table (As it stands February 21st) | ||||
| Team | P | GD | Pts | |
| 1 | Leicester City | 33 | 43 | 78 |
| 2 | Leeds United | 33 | 35 | 69 |
| 3 | Ipswich Town | 33 | 21 | 69 |
| 4 | Southampton | 33 | 24 | 67 |
| 5 | West Brom | 33 | 17 | 55 |
| 6 | Hull City | 33 | 7 | 54 |
| 7 | Coventry City | 33 | 14 | 51 |
| 8 | Norwich City | 33 | 8 | 51 |
However, the league leaders may have sought to bolster a few areas heading into the January transfer window, particularly their left-back department.
A little surprise may have been felt by some when Cesare Casadei was called up by Chelsea from his loan period, as he was expected to play out the entire season at King Power Stadium.
The Italian was always going to be replaceable, though, because of the criticism leveled at some of his performances.
Sensi was destined to be the park’s replacement, as the Italian was frequently associated with a move to Leicester during the January transfer window.
The midfield player is destined to play out the rest of the season at the San Siro after Fabrizio Romano even claimed that a deal was close to being finalized.
Update on Stefano Sensi after Leicester City deal collapses
According to the Calcio Mercato report (via Sport Witness), the player will be sidelined for around a month following surgery.
With this in mind, the player should still be available for a move away from the Italian giants in the summer.
This is when his contract expires – and it remains to be seen whether he will be offered an extension to remain at his current side.
Calcio Mercato, however, believe his most likely destination is still Leicester at this point with Enzo Maresca’s side potentially retaining their interest in the midfielder.
Leicester City should continue Stefano Sensi pursuit
The Foxes appeared to be vying for Sensi’s services.
And it would be obvious for the Midlands club to pursue the youngster further given that he will be available for free in the summer.
Burnley has been spending a lot of money on players since joining the Premier League, but they have not had much luck.
Leicester might be just as successful at adding players to the Clarets if they can pull off some cunning, low-cost transactions.
Additionally, if they can get Sensi to sign for nothing, the Foxes will have more money to invest in other areas of their squad, which will be important given the likelihood of a return to the top flight.
