Leicester City will be looking to add to their ranks in the January transfer window as they fight for promotion to the Premier League. The Foxes are currently top of the Championship table and boast a healthy gap to 3rd placed Leeds United.

Now, it seems the second-tier leaders could be set to battle some of their former Premier League foes for emerging talent Lucas Beraldo.

A report from Brazilian outlet UOL (as relayed by Sport Witness) has said Leicester City are willing to make a bid of €20m (around £17m) for the Sao Paulo centre-back, with Terra adding a proposal could be made in the coming weeks.

Chelsea, Brentford and Wolves are also keen though, so there could be strong competition for his signature.

Beraldo is a 20-year-old Brazilian centre-back who joined the club in January 2020. He’s since become a mainstay for the club, playing 51 times across all competitions.
