Leicester midfielder may leave despite manager’s wish to keep him
By Will Kennedy
Despite being largely absent for portions of his loan spell, Torino have been very keen on signing Praet permanently ever since he returned back to the King Power. A move would have happened, if not for Torino’s bids not meeting Leicester City’s expectations.
A transfer could be creeping closer now, however, with Torino recently selling defender Wilfried Singo to Monaco for a reported £8.6m, they now have funds to pursue a deal if they so wanted. With the Belgian set to leave for free next season, it wouldn’t take a huge bid to secure his services this summer. That being said, Torino have already signed Ivan Ilic and Nikola Vlasic this summer – both play in the advanced midfield that Praet enjoys, so a move for him may not be a priority.

Praet himself now faces a tough choice. Does he try and push for a move away to Italy in order to guarantee himself a fresh start and frequent games, or does he stay with the Foxes under a manager who clearly rates him. With a place at Euro 2024 up for grabs, the Belgian must decide which path is best for his career.
