    Romano: all the secrets of Leicester's transfer market

    Standing ovation. There is nothing else to do in front of Leicester’s miracle: a dream that comes true for whoever believes in the impossible. Claudio Ranieri and his players have been extraordinary, but behind this masterpiece there is also an excellent job done on the transfer market: a lot of low-cost signings and good investments. And many interesting stories: just consider the fact that during Ranieri’s first press conference, most of the questions were about the situation of Esteban Cambiasso, who had already decided to join Olympiacos.
    Football is strange, but the transfer market is even stranger. Just think about Rivad Mahrez: paid just €1 million and now tracked by many European clubs. AS Roma had been observing the 25-year-old, but finally the giallorossi decided to swoop on another type of player. Moreover, as revealed by the player himself, Torino wanted the Algeria international in January 2014, but he finally decided to move to England.
    Even more Italian clubs are connected to Leicester’s transfer market: one year ago, N’Golo Kanté –now considered a target for Juventus too- was offered to Napoli, but the azzurri considered too high the price of the French midfielder. By the way, the bianconeri themselves were after Christian Fuchs, but they didn’t carry out the negotiation with Schalke for the German left back Christian Fuchs. And also Pescara were about to sign one of the Foxes’ heroes, Leonardo Ulloa, but Almeria didn’t agree to a transfer on loan, and sold the forward to the English club for €10 million.
    Even thank to this negotiations, Leicester made something special.
