And he would be available at a relatively inexpensive fee, I think Leicester are prepared to deal at around 20 million poundsterling,” Duncan Castles, a journalist from UK, explained.

But the Blues has to pay attention of AS Roma’s strategy who is also interested in him. It was rumored that the 31 years old keeper will replace Alisson Becker once he leaves.
