The Manchester City winger starred under the Leicester City boss for two seasons at Celtic.
Brendan Rodgers is considering a reunion with his former Celtic loan star, Patrick Roberts, at Leicester City, according to The Sun.
Roberts is set to enter the final year of his contract at Manchester City, to whom he has just returned after an unsuccessful spell with Girona.
And the newspaper claims the winger’s cut-price £4 million valuation has made him a tempting option for Rodgers, who recently brought his former head of recruitment, Lee Congerton, to Leicester from Celtic.
But the Foxes could yet face competition from Parkhead, where Roberts won three league titles in two-and-a-half years and remains a popular figure with the Bhoys supporters.
Celtic, though, have yet to make a decision over Rodgers’ permanent successor, with Neil Lennon’s interim spell set to end after Sunday’s Scottish Cup final.
And it is speculated that Leicester could try to pounce on any uncertainty in Glasgow.
