Leicester 'preparing shock swoop for Domenico Berardi in January transfer window after opening in-depth talks with Sassuolo over Italy's Euro 2020 winner's availability'

Leicester have launched talks with Sassuolo over a sensational move for winger Domenico Berardi in the January transfer window.

The sought-after winger was one of the stars of Euro 2020 and played a crucial role in making Italy champions.

The Foxes had made their interest in Berardi clear in the summer transfer window, but reportedly had a £35million bid turned down. But now they are in the box seat to sign Berardi in this winter, according to Calcio Mercato.
