Sassuolo defender Francesco Acerbi wants to link up with Claudio Ranieri at Leicester City.
The Foxes are hot on the heels of the twice-capped Italy international during the current transfer window and they have already had two bids rejected.
The first of those was reportedly around £8.5m, while the second was close to £12m.
Both offers were instantly rejected by Sassuolo and the Serie A side are adamant Acerbi will not be leaving this month.
However, according to Corriere della Sera, the centre-back wants to join Leicester and that could help push a deal through.
