Leicester City may have to break their transfer record to sign Facundo Buonanotte on a permanent basis.
According to the CIES Football Observatorythe 19-year-old is valued at around £48.4m, and it will be interesting to see if Leicester City decide to make a move for him at the end of the season. The player has been linked with Liverpool too
The 19-year-old is currently on loan at Brighton’s King Power Stadium. He has been outstanding with his performances for the Foxes, and it would not be a surprise if Leicester tried to sign him permanently.
Buonanotte is a prodigious young talent with a bright future. He has added pace, style and unpredictability to the Foxes attack. The striker has been one of Leicester’s best players this season and has scored three goals and provided two assists for them.
The fans will no doubt be waiting for the club to sign the player for good, and it will be interesting to see how the situation evolves.
The South American has all the qualities to become a star for Leicester City in the future, and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to break the bank for him. They spent around £40m on Youri Tielemans and the Belgian midfielder remains the club’s signing for now.
It remains to be seen whether Leicester are prepared to go the extra mile for Buonanotte.
The 19-year-old is a prodigious talent with a bright future ahead of him and regular football in the Premier League could help him fulfill his huge potential. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career and if the Foxes can guarantee him first-team action, he could be tempted to make the move permanent.
It also has the ability to justify long-term investment.
