Leicester Metropolis have approached Southampton over the signing of defender Jannik Vestergaard.
The Foxes want to sign a centre-back after that, which Wesley Fofana was ruled out for a long time with a broken leg, which he suffered last week in the friendly match against Villarreal.
Talks between the two Leading League clubs are ongoing, but there was no agreement for the 29-year-old Danish representative.
Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers tried to sign Vestergaard, who has a year left on his contract at St Mary’s, in January 2020.
Vestergaard joined Southampton from Borussia Monchengladbach for a fee, which in July 2018 estimated at 18 million pounds.
Last season he played under Ralph Hasenhuttl 32 matches, because Southampton in the Premier League occupied 15. place and in the semi-finals of the Euro 2020 played in all six of Denmark's matches.
