English Premier League giant, Leicester City have rejected a £12m (about N5.7bn) bid from Saudi Arabian
club Al Nassr for striker Ahmed Musa but could allow Algeria’s Islam Slimani out on loan.

SportingLife.ng gathered that the bid came from Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr, but the Foxes are keen to
recoup £16.6m (about N7,9bn) they spent on the 25-year-old two years ago.

But the Foxes are willing to offload the attacker after a decent World Cup campaign with Nigeria, if any club can match their initial outlay for Musa.
However, Turkish giant, Galatasaray, have entered the race to sign the former VVV Venlo forward for the
new season.
According to Turkish website, Fanatik.com.tr, Galatasaray who will be competing in three competitions
in the coming season, are hoping to lure the 25-year-old to Turkey with the prospect of UEFA Champions
League football this new season as a bait.

Musa’s outstanding performances at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, especially his match-winning double
against Iceland, has seen him attract several suitors during the transfer window.

Premier League rivals, Fulham and Huddersfield Town have also been linked with a move for Musa who has
been touted to leave the King Power Stadium this summer.
