Leicester should get £10m for Souttar now this club in talks

Leicester City Football Club centre-back Harry Souttar has retained more respect from Foxes fans than he arguably should have following reports that he is actively seeking a move away from King Power Stadium. This enduring goodwill may well stem from the simple truth the Blue Army knows better than most that footballers could be easily excused for walking away or declining the challenging contemporary experience at LCFC.

The towering Australian, who led the Socceroos at the 2026 World Cup, has gone about his defensive duties with clear professionalism even if his on-pitch performances have not always shone with quality. For that reason alone, securing even a portion of the fee for the former Sheffield United and Stoke City defender feels like a widely acceptable outcome for those on Filbert Way.

The Blades, it appears, have been firmly priced out of a potential transfer for the 27-year-old, with the £10 million asking price acting as a prohibitive stumbling block. Whether the Blades simply could not meet the valuation or chose not to meet it, the reality remains that the hefty price tag has deterred several suitors this summer.

Wrexham in for Leicester City's Harry Souttar

Yet Wrexham, backed by Hollywood figures, may prove bold or daft enough to meet that fee where another pulled out. According to Anthony Joseph of Sky Sports, the two clubs are currently in discussions over a deal for the CB, though those talks remain at an early stage.

It is understood no final agreement has been reached yet, but the fact that negotiations are underway signals real intent on both sides.

With the Red Dragons now actively in talks, the general expectation is that the LE2 side can secure that targeted £10m should a transfer ultimately come to pass. While nothing is yet certain, progress makes a permanent departure look increasingly probable as the summer transfer window expires.
