The signing of Harry Winks last summer demonstrated that some of Leicester’s transfer moves wouldn’t look out of place in the Premier League.
Given Sensi’s previous pedigree in his hometown, expert Carlton Palmer described this prospective coup as bold in an exclusive interview with Football League World.
“Leicester City are keen to sign Inter Milan’s out of favour midfielder Stefano Sensi,” he said.”It’s a bold move to sign the Italian international and former Sassuolo midfielder.”
“Enzo Maresca, the manager, is a big fan of his.” “He spent the second half of the 2021/22 season on loan at Sampdoria and the previous season with Monza,” he continued.
“His contract expires at the end of June, and Leicester are interested in bringing in midfielders.” This is one, albeit an outrageous bid, because he is now out of favor and not playing.”
Palmer went on to say that Sensi’s decision could be influenced by Leicester’s present position in the table, with a potential shot at Premier League football.
“With Leicester so far ahead in the Championship, the player will be considering the possibility of playing in the Premier League next season.” If they can pull it off at the age of 28, that’s a good piece of business.”
The latest on Stefano Sensi’s potential move
Sensi’s move to the King Power Stadium appears to be moving in the right direction for the Foxes, with the fee rumored to be as low as €2 million, according to Gazzetto Della Sport via Sport Witness.
The move poses a new challenge for the midfielder, who has yet to pursue a permanent move outside of his native Italy in his career, with the sole exception being a two-year loan spell with Victor San Marino between 2013 and 2015, while still under contract with Cesena.

The inclusion will also be much-needed, as despite Leicester’s commanding top-of-the-table position, the Foxes’ midfield general Wilfried NdidI has suffered an injury, forcing him to withdraw from Nigeria’s AFCON squad.
Next up for Leicester City
The Foxes will be looking to clinch a deal for the nine-time Italy international as soon as possible, with Maresca’s side set to play in Saturday’s midday kick-off.
With a mouthwatering M69 Derby on the horizon, Leicester travels 24 miles west to face Mark Robins’ surging Coventry side.
