Serie A side confident of signing Leicester City defender

Italian club Bologna believe they can now sign Victor Kristiansen from Leicester City after it was announced that Enzo Maresca is set to leave the club.

After a grueling Championship campaign, the Foxes finished top of the league, just a point ahead of Ipswich Town, confirming automatic promotion back to the Premier League.

Leicester City fans will be delighted to see their team bounce back straight away, but will be a little worried after the latest news about Maresca.

There were some rumors in the final weeks of the season that the Italian manager could leave the club regardless of the league finish, these rumors then became reality with Maresca being announced as Chelsea’s new boss this week.

The news has increased the likelihood of another departure from the King Power Stadium, with Serie A club Bologna more confident of securing a permanent move for Danish defender Kristiansen.

The 21-year-old joined the Italian club on a season-long loan deal last year and is hoping to secure a deal this summer.

According to a report by Quotidiano Sportivo, Thiago Motta’s side are unwilling to spend the £12.8m initially discussed and are holding out for a price of around £7m.
