Leicester City have reportedly offered to double Dennis Praet's wages in order to beat AC Milan to the midfielder's signing.

Italian outlet Il Secolo XIX say Sampdoria are ready to sell the Belgium international, who was left out of a training game on Monday.

Milan are said to have made the 25-year-old a top target having appointed former Sampdoria coach Marco Giampaolo earlier this summer.

Now it is claimed City are ready to try and force through a quick deal by offering Praet a massive wage rise.

Leicestershire Live understands the Foxes do indeed retain a long standing interest in the player, but no bid has been made at this stage.

Having signed their top target in Praet's fellow Belgian, Youri Tielemans, a bid for Praet is less likely.

However, Papy Mendy could leave having been linked with a move to Saint-Etienne.
