Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly rejected an opening offer from Leicester City for defender Conor Coady.
That’s according to a recent report from TalkSPORT, who claims the Foxes made an initial bid to acquire the services of the Wolves captain, but it fell short of the Molineux club’s valuation.
Coady, 30, who has been a stalwart in the heart of the Wolves’ defence for several seasons, has attracted the attention from Leicester due to his impressive performances and leadership qualities while on loan with Everton last season. However, Wolves are determined to retain their influential skipper and have turned down their English rival’s opening offer.
Despite the setback, Leicester City are not giving up on their pursuit of the England international. The recently relegated Foxes are said to be preparing a second, improved offer in an attempt to sway Wolves into reconsidering their stance.
Leicester clearly recognises the immense value that Coady could bring to their backline as they look to win promotion back to the Premier League.
I wouldn’t sell Coady for less than £20m, a club skipper, Full England international in his prime, nothing less Wolves
Lets be honest any new defender Leicester signs can’t be any worse than the awful defence and loads of unforced errors made by citys defence last season.
Why don’t we promote a couple of academy players we build on them , it’s also better for business, because Leicester will always sell one of their big players each season
But we can also get a couple of signings to help the youngesters with the build up
