Leicester City closing in on Porto right back Ricardo Pereira

Leicester City are set to sign the Porto defender Ricardo Pereira this summer.

According to reports, the Foxes will pay around £25 million for the right back. Pereira has a £33 million release clause in his deal but Leicester have negotiated a lesser fee.

Apparently, Pereira wants his future sorted before he joins his country’s training camp ahead of the World Cup and the deal should be finalised soon.

The transfer window is now open and clubs will look to get their targets in before the World Cup in order to avoid delays and premium fees.
