Report: Leicester City pondering loan move for Merih Demiral

According to reports from Sky Sports, Leicester City are pondering making a loan move for Juventus centre-back Merih Demiral in the January transfer window.

The Foxes have had a bid in excess of £25.5m for the Turkey international rejected by the Italian champions. The Old Lady have also turned down an offer of £34m from Borussia Dortmund for the highly-rated defender.

Therefore, Leicester will have to come up with a better offer to lure the 21-year-old away from Italy. However, the Foxes want to see how he would adjust to life in the Premier League before making a substantial offer, and are pondering a short-term move for him.
