Leicester City coach Enzo Maresca has expressed his admiration for Inter’s fringe player Stefano Sensi, but noted that the club is currently unable to sign him. The Foxes were relegated from the Premier League last season, but they are currently dominating the Championship and are in a good position to return to the top flight of English football. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7795992##Inter Milan is reportedly looking to sell midfielder Sensi, whose contract expires in July, and Leicester has been linked to the 28-year-old player, who has only played 65 minutes in four games this season. When asked about the club’s interest in Sensi, Maresca mentioned in a press conference via Di Marzio that Leicester cannot make a move for him at the moment.”It’s better when you are strong, and you can get stronger. The only thing I can say about Sensi is that he’s a player I know very well, and he’s the kind of player we really like. But as I said already, unfortunately, at this moment, we aren’t allowed to do something. We need to sell in case we want to do something. Because the transfer window is open, we’re going to see. It can happen that we aren’t going to have any players out or in.”🔵🦊 Leicester manager Enzo Maresca confirms Stefano Sensi as top target: “Yes, he’s a player we like — but we need to sell before signing new players”.🇮🇹 Negotiations to follow with Inter on permanent deal.

Namely, Leicester are strapped for cash despite doing so well on the pitch.”The only thing I know is that we can’t spend money. We aren’t allowed. Probably the reason is relegation, and in the last two or three years, the club has had some bad losses. When you get relegated, it’s always difficult. It’s not only because you need to rebuild and because the economic situation is not easy, even if we gave away 10 or 15 players last year.”Sensi is set to leave Inter after four years, which were disappointing following an initially bright start, with injuries affecting his time in Lombardy.
