Premier League champions Leicester City are preparing a €25m move for Gremio forward Luan, with Foxes officials already en route to Porto Alegre to speak with the player’s representatives, according to ESPN Brasil.

Leicester have already made an approach for Eduardo Sasha from city rivals Internacional, but appear to have turned attentions to 23 year old forward Luan, who will form part of Brazil’s Olympic squad in August.

Gremio hold 70% of Luan’s rights and his contract runs until December 2018. Last year, he rejected an offer from Valencia in Spain, but may be willing to sound out the offer from the Premier League winners.

“I try not to listen to the speculation, I try to know when I have something concrete, so I stay with a good head, only at Grêmio,” said the striker on Thursday. Leicester were also rebuffed last summer in an approach for Inter midfielder Charles Aranguiz, who moved to Bayer Leverkusen.
