Inter Milan have enquired about the availability of Leicester City midfielder Boubakary Soumare.
That’s according to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, who says that the 24-year-old is likely to leave the Foxes before the summer transfer window closes at 11pm on Friday night.
How has Soumare fared at Leicester so far?
Soumare joined Leicester in the summer of 2021 for a reported £17 million price from French club Lille.
Since then, the midfielder has made 59 appearances for the Foxes in all competitions, albeit he was unable to prevent the team from being relegated from the Premier League to the Championship at the end of last season.
Leicester have had a lot of players leave the club this summer as a result of their relegation.
Harvey Barnes, Youri Tielemans, James Maddison, Jonny Evans, Calgar Soyuncu, Daniel Amartey, Ayoze Perez, Ryan Bertrand, Nampalys Mendy, and Timothy Castagne have all left the club, and it appears Soumare is next.
Inter make Soumare enquiry
Soumare joined Leicester in the summer of 2021 for a reported £17 million price from French club Lille.
Inter have already made a move for Soumare, according to this latest report, as they attempt to improve their team before Friday’s transfer deadline.
The Italian giants are reported to have inquired about Soumare’s availability as they want to add a midfielder to their squad in the near future.
In addition to the Leicester City player, Inter are thought to be interested in Sassuolo’s Maxime Lopez.
Indeed, di Marzio has stated that Soumare would most certainly move Leicester this summer, however it remains to be seen whether Inter will be his next destination.
Sevilla also chasing Soumare
Inter are not the only European club to have been credited with an interest in Soumare during this summer’s transfer window.
Sevilla have also been linked with a move for the 24-year-old, although it has been suggested that the Spanish side are keen on a loan move for Soumare, while Leicester’s preference is to sell the midfielder permanently.
As things stand, there are three years remaining on Soumare’s contract with Leicester, securing his future at The King Power Stadium until the end of the 2025/26 season.
That of course, means that the Championship side are in a strong position to negotiate any offers that are made for the former France youth international in the final day of the summer transfer window.
