Leicester City continues to be on track to secure the signing of Inter Milan midfielder Stefano Sensi, as indicated in Fabrizio Romano’s recent update on X.

Despite being linked with various players, Leicester City might not be overly active in the transfer market this window. Their robust performance and results this season, coupled with budget constraints, suggest they may not engage in extensive January dealings.

While key departures like Harvey Barnes, Timothy Castagne, and James Maddison brought in funds during the summer, Enzo Maresca invested significantly in players such as Conor Coady, Stephy Mavididi, and Harry Winks. The recall of Cesare Casadei from loan by Chelsea might open up possibilities for new acquisitions.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the move for Stefano Sensi is progressing positively, with the “green light” given for final negotiations. Leicester City is expected to pay around €2 million for Sensi, a reasonable amount given his international experience with Italy.

With five days left in the transfer window, Leicester seems poised to finalize the deal smoothly. While the Foxes are already strong contenders for promotion, Sensi’s experience could enhance their squad and provide valuable depth as they aim for a Premier League return.

Leicester’s competition for a top-two spot, including Ipswich Town, Leeds United, and Southampton, doesn’t diminish their current strong position. However, considering Sensi’s experience, this signing could prove shrewd as Leicester strategically prepares for a return to the top flight.
