According to reports, there were initial talks between the clubs, which should be intensified at the beginning of the week. The 26-year-old centre-back was not included in the squad for Sunday’s game at Brighton & Hove Albion. After Söyüncü has actually developed splendidly in recent years and has meanwhile increased its market value to 45 million euros, he no longer plays a role under Brendan Rodgers.

The defender sat on the bench for 90 minutes on each of the first five Premier League matchdays, only playing for the Foxes against Stockport in the EFL Cup. “There hasn’t been any concrete interest from big clubs this summer – although Söyüncü’s contract expires in 2023. Otherwise he probably wouldn’t be in Leicester anymore,” says Daniel Busch (“Fullhouse”), Transfermarkt Area Manager of the .com domain. “If Rodgers folds or flies, there might still be a small chance. Whether change or not: it will probably not be able to keep the current market value of 40 million euros beyond the autumn updates.” According to the reporter RyanTaylor Rodgers confirmed on Sunday that Söyüncü could leave the club.
Depending on the extent of the expected drop in market value, Söyüncü would still be the most valuable player in the Süper Lig if he were transferred to Galatasaray or Fenerbahce. His potential new teammate Lucas Torreira (26) is currently leading the ranking with EUR 20 million. Icardi, whose transfer is not yet perfect, but could be soon, is at 22 million euros.
