According to the English portal, the French are confident of being able to get rid of the captain of the “Foxes”, whose contract ends next summer, for a small fee. Although the club from the Côte d’Azur cannot offer the current salary of 120,000 pounds per week (equivalent to around 143,000 euros) to the 84-time Danish national keeper, Schmeichel would be presented with a long-term contract, which the goalkeeper should agree to.
The “L’Équipe” goes a step further and even writes about an agreement between Nice and the professional. However, both agree that Leicester will not let the Dane go until a replacement has been found. Until then, the club will block the transfer.
