Leicester rumours: Foxes plot Milik move if Mahrez and Vardy sold

Pricey Premier League move

However, a £10m price tag has still not thwarted the interest by the Premier League outfit, as they seek to bolster their ranks after incredibly reaching third position in the top tier table, just three points adrift of leaders Manchester City.

Milik was reportedly once very close to agreeing a switch to Leicester’s domestic rivals Tottenham at the age of 16, in a move that would have cost a mere £100k, but the Londoners turned down such a transfer, claiming they had enough young talent in their ranks.

Milik replacement for Vardy?

The speculation surrounding the prolific Pole comes after reports Ranieri could actually lose his current star men Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, with both Foxes forwards having been key to the club’s meteoric rise up the table this season.

Vardy became one of only three ever players to score in nine successive Premier League games this term, rallying to the top of the scoring charts with his superb rise to prominence, while Mahrez has been majestically dictating games from his desired creative role.

The latter was recently linked to Manchester United, as Louis van Gaal potentially seeks further reinforcements for a hopeful title bid this term, while Vardy has fired himself into the mix for a possible big-money move elsewhere, having also made his England bow this year.

This former Non-League hitman could end up featuring for Roy Hodgson’s Three Lions next summer, no matter what club colours he will be donning, with England 12/1 to clinch European glory in France.
