Sporting prepare bid for Slimani
Sporting Lisbon are preparing to make an offer for Leicester City striker Islam Slimani.
According to A Bola, via Calcio Mercato, Sporting are ready to bid for the forward as they look to improve their squad.
The report claims that Sporting want to bring Slimani back to Portugal and are set to make their move, despite him currently being on loan in Turkey.
Slimani is on a season-long loan at Fenerbahce in Turkey, with Sporting looking to secure a deal which will see him join them at the end of the campaign.
The 30-year-old had an impressive spell with Sporting earlier in his career, scoring 57 goals in 109 appearances for the club before joining Leicester.
Since joining the Foxes, Slimani has scored 12 goals in 47 appearances and been loaned out twice, with a spell at Newcastle last season in the Premier League.
