Leicester City reject £3m Galatasaray bid for Sunderland target Leonardo Ulloa

January 30, 2017

Leicester City have rejected a bid from Galatasaray for their star striker Leonardo Ulloa.

A source close to the Turkish giants revealed to Turkish-Football that the Premier League side have turned down their £3 million offer for Ulloa.

Per-the-source, manager Claudio Ranieri is keen to keep hold of the Argentine striker and blocked the move.

Ulloa was a key part of Leicester City’s squad which won the Premier League against the odds last season.

However, the 30-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at the King Power following the signings of Islam Slimani and Ahmed Musa.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail state that Sunderland have also had a bid rejected for the experienced striker.

Ulloa has managed to score just one goal in 12 appearances for Leicester City this season.

The powerful striker has 18 months remaining on his current deal with Leicester City.

Leicester sit in 15th spot in the Premier League with 12 points after 22 games. This time last year Leicester were joint top of the table.
