Sarri shut Leicester City’s approach out.
Sportitalia’s transfer chief Alfredo Pedullà suggests that Leicester City has reached out to Maurizio Sarri, but the former Lazio coach seems to be holding out for more enticing offers.
After departing from Lazio in March, Sarri appears to be in no hurry to commit to his next venture. Speculation has linked him with positions at Fiorentina, Bologna, and Panathinaikos. However, according to Sportitalia, Leicester City has engaged in discussions with Sarri, potentially eyeing him as a replacement for Enzo Maresca, who is expected to join Chelsea in the upcoming summer.
Leicester City has a notable history with Italian coaches, famously winning the Premier League under Claudio Ranieri. Sarri also has prior experience in English football, clinching the Europa League title with Chelsea. Despite Leicester’s interest, Sportitalia suggests that Sarri is not keen on joining the club and is instead waiting for more appealing offers to emerge.
