Inter Milan and Leicester City have reached an agreement for the transfer of midfielder Stefano Sensi, although Leicester must facilitate a sale before finalizing the deal.

Sky Sport Italia’s transfer market expert, Gianluca Di Marzio, reported this development via his official platform.

Leicester’s pursuit of former Sassuolo midfielder Sensi has been propelled by the influence of their coach, Enzo Maresca. The Italian manager, who assumed the reins at Leicester following their relegation from the Premier League, has steered the club to a prominent position atop the English second division standings.

Maresca, formerly an assistant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, has been instrumental in imprinting his tactical philosophy on the squad, with Sensi perceived as an ideal fit for the coach’s playing style.

Sensi, an Italian international, made the switch to Inter from Sassuolo in 2019. Despite his undeniable talent, injuries have hindered his consistent presence on the field, leading to loan stints at clubs like Sampdoria and Monza.

The negotiated deal between Inter and Leicester entails a transfer fee of approximately €2 million, contingent upon Leicester’s promotion to the Premier League. Sensi, reportedly eager to embrace this new opportunity, is poised to make the switch pending Leicester’s ability to offload a player as part of their financial restructuring necessitated by their current status as a second division club.

The completion of the Sensi transfer hinges on Leicester’s ability to execute a corresponding sale within the confines of the January transfer window, thus reflecting the intrinsic interdependence of Sensi’s prospective move on the club’s financial machinations.
