Leicester City are in ‘advanced negotiations’ to sign Feyenoord forward Julian Carranza, with discussions regarding the transfer ‘in the final stage’.
The Foxes are striving to be proactive in the market before the transfer window closes, aiming to bolster Marti Cifuentes’ squad.
They could also face potential exits, with midfielder Bilal El Khannouss eager to depart soon amid interest from the Premier League, Bundesliga, and Saudi Arabia.
Now Leicester are turning to the Netherlands for a reinforcement, and Argentine forward Carranza is the player they are targeting.
According to Argentine journalist Cesar Luis Merlo, Leicester are in ‘advanced negotiations’ to bring Carranza to the King Power Stadium.
Talks with Dutch club Feyenoord are now ‘in the final stage’ as both sides work to finalize an agreement before the window closes.
Feyenoord only secured the Argentine forward in the summer 2024 transfer window, signing him to a four-year contract at De Kuip.
He concluded last season with a total of 30 appearances for the club across all competitions, and Feyenoord are now prepared to allow him to join Leicester if the terms are suitable.
Carranza should face minimal language barriers in England, having spent a significant period in the MLS earlier in his career.
The 25-year-old played for both Inter Miami and Philadelphia Union in the MLS.
The specifics of the deal that Leicester might secure for Carranza remain unclear.
The Foxes have enjoyed a strong start to the new campaign under Cifuentes, winning three of their first four Championship matches to occupy fourth place in the standings.
