Leicester City defender Caleb Okoli has called for more consistent playing time as speculation over a potential move to Serie A side Parma intensifies ahead of the winter transfer window.
The 23-year-old, who joined the Foxes from Atalanta, has struggled for regular minutes this season and is reportedly open to a transfer that guarantees him more time on the pitch.
Italian club Parma has already initiated discussions with the player’s representatives, according to Calciomercato. Leicester are aware of Okoli’s demands but have yet to make a final decision on his future.
The club is weighing whether to retain the centre-back for the remainder of the season or allow him to depart for Italy.
Talks between Leicester and Parma are described as “concrete,” with the Italian outfit eager to secure the Nigerian-born defender. Their interest follows positive relations established between both clubs after the transfer of Coulibaly.
If the Foxes opt to sanction Okoli’s departure, the move is expected to proceed smoothly due to these established ties. However, a final decision is still pending as Leicester continues to assess the defender’s role in the squad.
