Aleksandar Dragovic appears to be on the move after his Leicester City loan spell.

Gianluca Di Marzio reports the Austrian centre-back is close to joining Atalanta from Bayer Leverkusen – although it is unclear whether or not the deal is a permanent one.

Dragovic featured regularly for Leicester in the latter half of his season-long stay at the King Power Stadium and was linked with a summer return to the Foxes – while Everton, West Ham United and Brighton and Hove Albion were also credited with interest by the Leicester Mercury.

But Leicester instead turned to Jonny Evans (pictured), Caglar Soyuncu and Filip Benkovic to fill their centre-half void.

And having been close to joining both AS Roma and Inter Milan in the past, Dragovic will finally get to try his luck in Italian football, according to Di Marzio.

The former Austrian Wien player made his name at FC Basel before moves to Dynamo Kiev and Bayer Leverkusen.

Should Leicester have brought back Dragovic this summer?
