Juventus have rejected a £25.5m bid for highly rated Turkish defender Merih Demiral according to Sky. Dortmund have also had an offer of £34m turned down
The central defender has been linked with Arsenal for some time - Leicester may opt to move for his teammate Daniel Rugani (who is nowhere near as good by the way)

Obviously want a lot more than the alleged fee then, dunno about spending that much on him.

Yeah it’s a difficult one. He’s very highly rated but we don’t know how he will adapt to the prem

How amazing is it that we are actually bidding for a player from one of the biggest clubs the world has seen and we might actually get him.
Mental!!

I don’t think it is really. We’re not little old Leicester anymore.

I think they’ll probably go for Rugani. Not as good but a Jonny Evans style defender (not as good as Evans but very solid) - much cheaper but a good back up option

Apparently we’re considering a loan for Demiral

A loan would be sensible, but then again would he play enough games this season to be able to form an opinion of him. Tricky one but nice to be linked with such a high quality player

Rodgers hinting towards needing another centre back for a back 3. Just for Dunge.

Personally I think his surname looks like something that Uncle B*stard would play in a Christmas game of Scrabble, claim a 50 point bonus for and leave everyone thinking how they aren’t convinced it’s a word but aren’t confident enough to challenge him.
