Leicester City are pushing Barcelona to discuss terms for Paco Alcacer.

Sport says Alcacer has already rejected a move to Watford, while Barca have refused to consider selling him to Valencia.

However, there has been encouragement for Leicester, where there is a willingness to spend big to sign the Spain international.

Barca are keen to encourage Alcacer to leave this summer, with coach Ernesto Valverde preferring to count on striker rival Munir El Haddadi.

Leicester are willing to go as high as €30m to sign Alcacer before the transfer deadline falls.
