Sporting CP Keen to Re-Sign Islam Slimani But Leicester Refuse to Budge on Asking Price

Leicester City striker Islam Slimani is likely on his way out this summer, with the King Power outfit keen to offload. However, at the moment, it's unclear where he will end up.

Portuguese side Sporting CP are believed to be desperate to land their former player, but are looking to take him back on loan, having sold him to the Foxes two summers ago.

Slimani fell way below expectations after joining Leicester, who were coming off a Premier League title-winning season back then, and the club's main striker Jamie Vardy was hardly bothered by his presence in the squad as he offered very little threat.
