Leicester target Praet keen to stay with Sampdoria
Leicester City have recently been linked with a move for Dennis Praet, but the playmaker has since insisted that he wants to remain with Sampdoria.
Speaking to Italian news outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, as cited in a report from Calciomercato, the Belgian playmaker delivered a big update on his plans for the future as he pledged his allegiance to Sampdoria once again.
I’ve heard many transfer speculations but I am happy at Sampdoria and I don’t want to leave.
Just like every young player, it’s normal to dream of joining a big club but I am not thinking about it at the moment.
Speculation surrounding a potential move from Leicester surfaced last month, with Praet reported to have been a target for the club.
However, it seems the former Anderlecht star has no immediate plans to leave Sampdoria, with Serie A giants Juventus having also been named as a potential destination for the player.
Praet also confirmed that he is currently staging negotiations with Sampdoria as he looks to extend his stay at the club.
We are in talks to extend my contract, that’s what both me and the club want.
Leicester already have several creative options to choose upon, but it seems they will not come close to recruiting Praet in the immediate future.
