Leicester have been given the go-ahead to sign Max Allegri’s beloved Argentina youth international

Argentina winger Matias Soule is open to a move to Leicester City this summer but is waiting for an offer to be accepted by Juventus, according to reports.

Soule has been a Juventus player since 2020, but has so far played just 21 times for the senior side, scoring one goal.

However, the 11-time Argentina youth international impressed greatly during a loan spell at Frosinone last season, registering 11 goals and three assists in 36 Serie A appearances despite the Canaries’ relegation to the second division.

“He has quality and quantity,” former Juventus boss Max Allegri said of Soule last year (via Juve FC).

“I’m happy with the way it’s developing. As I always say, everyone grows and young players need to be given time to develop, both technically and physically.”

Leicester City have yet to meet Soule’s asking price

Despite being so highly regarded, Soule is said to be set to leave Juventus this summer.

According to the latest print edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Football Italia ), the 21-year-old has declared his intention to sign a €2.5m/€3m deal with Leicester City this summer of euros per season.

However, Soule is still waiting for Juventus to accept an offer from the Foxes.

The report states that Leicester are prepared to table a bid of €25m plus €5m in add-ons for Soule, but the Old Lady want to hold out for €30m plus add-ons.

Roma are also understood to be interested in the Mar del Plata native but are unwilling to meet Juventus’ asking price, while the player’s agent is currently in Turin discussing his client’s future.
