MIND-BLOWING FOXES BOMBSHELL! Leicester’s SHOCK Swoop for 26-Year-Old ‘Bargain Beast’ Leaves Football World STUNNED – The Value Signing That Could SHATTER the Premier League!
Leicester City’s pursuit of Palmeiras defender Bruno Fuchs sparks debate in Brazil as journalist Jorge Nicola provides fresh insight.
Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola has confirmed ESPN Brazil’s report that a Leicester City scout was present at Allianz Parque to watch Palmeiras’ Copa Libertadores semifinal clash against LDU Quito.
The scout’s appearance raised eyebrows, as Nicola admitted he was surprised the Championship club are targeting a player who is already 26 years old.
Sources within Palmeiras told Nicola that no formal approach or offer has yet been made by Leicester.
For now, the Foxes are understood to be adopting a cautious stance, waiting to see how the situation develops in the coming weeks.
Palmeiras are reportedly preparing to activate the £3 million (€3.5m) purchase clause in Joaquim Fuchs’ loan deal from Atlético Mineiro before making any decision on his future—whether to keep him or sell for profit.
Nicola further explained why Palmeiras boss Abel Ferreira holds Fuchs in such high regard.
The Portuguese manager appreciates the defender’s composure, accurate long passing, and ability to remain calm under pressure—qualities that help Palmeiras build from the back and unlock compact defences.
Atlético Mineiro, meanwhile, expect to receive around £3 million from the deal, funds that could support Jorge Sampaoli’s efforts to reshape his squad.
Leicester, currently 13th in the Championship, continue monitoring Fuchs closely.
