Leicester boss reveals maximum amount they’d spend on transfers
Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers confirmed the club’s wish to strengthen in the summer transfer window, recently. Now we know how much they’d spend.
On Friday, Brendan Rodgers conducted his most keenly anticipated press conference during his reign at Leicester City. This is because the Foxes face their most important match of the season versus Manchester United on Sunday, at King Power Stadium. The victorious team – a draw for United – will automatically enter at least the qualifying round of 2020/21’s Champions League competition.
United currently occupy the spot above Leicester in the Premier League table. Along with managing a one point lead on their European rivals; despite the latter maintaining a consistent and substantial lead on the northern English side for most of the campaign.
If Leicester eventually only secure Europa League football for the upcoming term, then they will still be able to buy some exceptional domestic and foreign talent to add to their ranks on Filbert Way.
However, if the outcome is qualification to the more prestigious tournament, Brendan Rodgers will attract the elite athletes from the transfer market. Furthermore, the boss may even tempt players who are ‘not for sale’ for the right, inflated price. Especially with the lure of the CL.
