Leicester City may be making another attempt to sign previous transfer target Adrien Silva, according to reports in Portugal.

The Jornal de Notícias are claiming that City are set to offer 22 million euros for the Sporting Lisbon playmaker, who was a target for City in the January transfer window.

At the time, City bid 30 million euros for Silva but the offer was turned down and the Lisbon club demanded the full 45m euros release clause in Silva’s contract.

This summer, West Brom are already reported to have offered 26m euros and that has been turned down, so any City offer below that figure is also likely to be rejected.

West Brom are said to be very interested in the player, but will have to pay at least 30m euros to land Silva. Inter Milan are also reported to be interested in Silva, but will also offer only 25m euros.

Reports of interest from Leicester would seem well off the mark as Sevilla’s Vicente Ibbora has already arrived at the King Power Stadium this summer and City have plenty of options in central midfield, even if unsettled Papy Mendy does leave during this transfer window in a loan or permanent move back to Spain.

With Iborra, Danny Drinkwater and Wilfred Ndidi battling for central midfield slots, there is also Amdy King, a fit-again Matty James and Daniel Amartey also in the mix.

City’s efforts after completing the signing of Manchester City strike Kelechi Iheanacho are likely to be in defence, especially with Robert Huth out injured for two months.
