Predicted Manchester City lineup For Champions League Clash Against Slovan Bratislava.
Sevilla are reportedly showing interest in signing Leicester City midfielder Boubakary Soumare. The 25-year-old has played a limited role under new head coach Steve Cooper at the King Power Stadium during the 2024-25 season.
Soumare made an appearance on the opening day of the Premier League season, coming off the bench for the final 11 minutes in the draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
However, the midfielder has not featured in the league since, and was left out of the squad over the weekend.
Since his permanent transfer from Ligue 1 side Lille to Leicester in the summer of 2021, Soumare has made 61 appearances for the Foxes.
**Sevilla Interested in Leicester’s Soumare?**
According to Vamos Mi Sevilla FC, La Liga club Sevilla are eager to secure Boubakary Soumare’s services during the upcoming January transfer window.
The report suggests that the Spanish side aims to sign the 25-year-old on loan for the second half of the 2024-25 season as they pursue domestic success.
Soumare spent the 2023-24 season on loan at Sevilla while Leicester fought for promotion in the Championship, making 34 appearances in all competitions.
It’s reported that Garcia Pimienta’s team had a €15 million (£12.5 million) option to buy the French midfielder at the end of the season but chose not to activate it due to financial constraints.
Nonetheless, it appears that Sevilla may return to the market for Soumare in January, providing him with a potential exit from the King Power Stadium.
**Challenging Times for Soumare**
With Cooper implementing several changes to his starting lineup, Soumare was given a chance to start in midfield during Leicester’s EFL Cup third-round match against League Two side Walsall on September 24.
Positioned at the base of the midfield, the 25-year-old partnered with Hamza Choudhury in a game where Leicester struggled against their fourth-tier opponents at the Poundland Bescot Stadium.
The performance prompted boos from the traveling fans in the West Midlands, as the match ended in a 0-0 draw after 90 minutes, with the Premier League team eventually progressing via penalty kicks.
