Leicester: Ridiculously low option to buy price for Praet revealed
Leicester City are certainly not a club that undervalues players. But a ridiculously low option to buy price for Dennis Praet has been revealed.
Rather than cheaply offloading talent, Leicester are known for developing academic youngsters in youth teams, as well as reasonably priced additions, and turning them into internationals. See Ben Chilwell and Harry Maguire for reference there.
Then there are the high demands met for other incomings that arrive with low profiles and end up at superpower sides with worldwide recognition: N’golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez, for example. so, all in all, apart from the odd unusual sale which happens at every outfit – the Foxes are one of the very best in the transfer market from my impartial research over the years of studying Premier League signings.

Will Leicester City loanee be allowed to permanently leave for a silly fee?
One of the questionable decisions of Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers over the last while – file it together with zonal set-pieces, ignoring Kelechi Iheanacho for ages and not dropping out-of-form stars – is of course letting Dennis Praet Praet depart temporarily on loan.
Well, at least the Blue Army believed that the Belgian international would probably only be a provisional absentee from the east Midlanders. Praet is admired by the LCFC faithful as an athlete who, when called on by Rodgers, never let his teammates down.
Furthermore, many fans are of the opinion that the midfielder’s skill set and level he performs at could have actually helped the boss in contemporary or recently passed times. And that perspective is a decent along with insightful sentiment, as Foxes of Leicester views the scenario.
Nevertheless, as an important part of the Belgium setup, and as quality dictates, Praet surely demanded playing time on Filbert Way or requested a move. However, the loanee is at the centre of a new report claiming that his stopgap side, Torino, can secure the former Sampdoria man for as little as £9.4million at any time. This is due to an option to buy clause in the deal.

The 27-year-old originally cost the Foxes £17.3m; he is a great sportsman in his prime with more to give so this modern valuation seems ludicrous. If Leicester do take a loss, without giving Praet another chance in particular, it will be an awful piece of business!
