Things often get messy at Championship and Premier League clubs just before the transfer window closes for a few months. Recruitment teams, agents and managers are especially fervent and random in the final days of the active market. You'll hear some speculation that takes your breath away, makes you laugh - and have instances that could potentially make a grown man cry.
And it's no different elsewhere in the country; sides much bigger than Leicester City often suffer just the same angst. Whilst we all deflect fake news narratives and wild claims from (typically) tabloid media, and below. The Foxes are indeed now set when it comes to funding. Their sales can make the Blue Army fan base proud - for once these days!
But even though a top LCFC source asserts Profit and Sustainability issues are now resolved, another high profile Fox could still exit the East Midlands. And that possibility is more likely when the player in question attempts to force a switch by any means necessary. The Leicester star I am referring to could possibly command a £35 million fee. Evidently City have upped the price since PSR was settled and people started comparing their asset to the legendary Luka Modric.
So why is Bilal El Khannouss said to be demanding a transfer out of Leicestershire?
Leicester City star Bilal El Khannouss described as new Luka Modric but wants transfer exit
The King Power outfit have made some of the best and worst English transfers over the previous decade or so. Leicester's recruitment is one or the other, with absolutely no middle ground: amazing or atrocious.
El Khannouss was definitely one of the success stories. Even if that only really relates to an eventual profit.
"Belgian football expert Filip Joos told Sporza just before El Khannouss joined Leicester last summer. “I don’t see anyone else better than him.Hammers News
“He reminds me most of [Luka] Modric. That does not mean that he will reach that level. [The comparisons are] purely in terms of their styles."
It was claimed that El Khannouss may, unforgivably, refuse to feature for the Foxes ever again! West Ham United are apparently in 'advanced talks' for the wantaway Fox:
