There is plenty of talk surrounding Leicester City as the January transfer window continues to heat up.
Leicester are yet to make a signing this transfer window but have been working hard behind the scenes to get deals done.
Players departing the East Midlands is also a possibility and one defender is the main focus for one European side.
Parma very interested in signing out of favour Leicester defender
Defenders seem to be the priority this window for Ruud van Nistelrooy, with a centre-back seemingly on the radar.
Reports on Monday stated that Wout Faes could leave Leicester for £15m and is of interest to clubs in Germany and Italy.
Faes impressed in the Foxes’ win against QPR but it’s the more recent arrival Caleb Okoli who could be moving on
.
Di Marzio has claimed that Okoli is of interest to Parma and that the Serie A side could make him their “top priority”.
Both clubs seem to be on good terms as they have already negotiated the Coulibaly deal and could thrash out another transfer
Ruud van Nistelrooy doesn’t rate Caleb Okoli
Okoli may have only joined Leicester in the summer however, in that time, there is still plenty that could change.
The centre-back was brought to the club by Steve Cooper and featured regularly but after Cooper was sacked and Van Nistelrooy was appointed, that has all changed.
Since the Dutchman’s arrival Okoli has had to settle for a place on the bench – only coming on with minutes to spare.
Parma are managed by Fabio Pecchia, who worked with the Foxes star at Serie B side US Cremonense in the 2021/22 season and wants a reunion.
Having had just 80 minutes of action since November, it seems inevitable that Okoli’s future lies elsewhere and for that, question marks have to be asked about the Foxes’ recruitment.
