Leicester City could miss out on signing Atalanta star Robin Gosens if the Foxes let Champions League football slip through their fingers again, as reported by Calciomercato.
Football really is a fickle mistress.
Just three days after Brendan Rodgers was swigging champagne in the Wembley dressing room, Chelsea seized an opportunity to take revenge on their FA Cup conquerors.
A 2-1 defeat to Thomas Tuchel’s side at Stamford Bridge, coupled with Liverpool’s win at Burnley, means the Foxes have slipped out of the top four for the first time all season.
Leicester famously missed out on Champions League qualification on the final day of 2019/20 too.
And, unless Liverpool or Chelsea drop points on Sunday (they play Crystal Palace and Aston Villa respectively) history will repeat itself at the King Power.
Two weeks ago, Tuttomercatoweb reported Leicester hoped to sign Germany international Gosens in a £22 million deal in the summer transfer window.
Now, with Leicester facing another year of Europa League football, CM claims negotiations could crumble quicker than a granola bar on a freshly hoovered floor.
Juventus and Napoli are also interested in Gosens. But, if it’s Champions League football he wants, why not stay at an Atalanta side that has already secured a top-three place in Serie A?
