As per L’Equipe (translated by GFFN), Leicester City are prepared to sell the player permanently and therefore they have turned down Villa’s loan approach.
Dean Smith is looking to bring in a quality striker this month and Slimani has been in impressive form with Monaco.
The Algerian is currently out on loan and he has scored 7 goals so far this season. Apparently, he is unhappy at Monaco and the French outfit are ready to send him back if they are compensated.
Aston Villa striker Wesley Moraes has been ruled out for the season with an injury and Villa will have to add more goals to their side.
