Hope still remains amongst Leicester City's Blue Army fan base that Mads Hermansen and Bilal El Khannouss may somehow stay at King Power Stadium this season. And the chances of that eventuality seem to have increased in recent weeks; the City hierarchy could sanction separate business before the transfer window shuts. That's one way LCFC can create funds and minimalise salaries in order to retain one, or both, of the outstanding duo. Selling lesser but nonetheless valuable Foxes.
Standout journalist Fabrizio Romano has offered fresh information on one Leicester man who fits the previously outlined conditions. A move is expected for this international footballer. Not to mention his next potential club being revealed.
Fabrizio Romano on Leicester City star's expected transfer
Romano is the most trustworthy reporter in the world when it comes to football transfers. Although, Foxes of Leicester did appear to catch him out once with a tweet he actually replied to regarding Youri Tielemans. Regardless, the Italian is the real deal.
What's Romano said of City recently? Well, not a lot actually; probably because we are a tier two club again and can't spend a lot! Irrespective, he claims LCFC have received a 'formal bid' for one of their prominent midfielders. He added 'Talks ongoing'.
New club for Wilfred Ndidi ostensibly named
In addition to those details, Romano gave up more. He did confirm that Ndidi is the Fox in question. Furthermore, the writer divulged that Turkish Super Lig outfit Besiktas have made the approach for the Nigerian.
Could Ndidi do the business at a Premier League team? Yeah, why not. He's now a ball-winner who can get forward as a nuisance. Though it is understandable that big six sides aren't linked these days.

It would also be rather strange if the 28-year-old played against City in the Championship this season. I wish him luck and would argue that this is a suitable switch. Hearsay now suggests an offer has been accepted.
