Exclusive info on Leicester’s Matt O’Riley transfer pursuit

Now then, Konur noted to us a key duality about the difficulty of the deal for both clubs:

"“Celtic don’t want to let him go… frankly, if Matt wants to leave, Celtic can’t keep him”"

The star only recently joined, and is proving to be a pivotal player in midfielder. From progressing the ball well to creating chances, the Under-21 Danish international is crucial to how the Glasgow-based side perform. Their style of play is determined by the talent.

Obviously, the Scottish side would never let the player go on the cheap. They want to keep such players so they can build a consistent squad to keep winning titles, while progressing further in European competition. However, with such a spotlight comes big eyes and big money: the club only paid £1.5million for his services, so even £10m would be a massive profit should Leicester offer it.

Importantly for the King Power club, they will have to act fast if they do wish to sign O’Riley. After all, they are not alone in their pursuit:

"“Two teams from the Italian league went to Scotland to watch a few games…. they did not want to give the names of the clubs”"

So then, the Foxes have competition from Italy should their interest be genuine. To be honest, from the prolific nature of his assists, I would assume that interest will grow as both the January and future summer transfer markets get closer and closer.
